This list of exoplanets discovered in 2023 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2023. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information.

This list of exoplanets discovered in 2021 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first observed in 2021. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information.
The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.

Over 5,000 exoplanets have been confirmed by previous data, but LHS 475 b is the first to be confirmed by observations with the telescope. The exoplanet was stated to be 41 light-years away in the ...
The newly discovered planet is called Gliese 12b and researchers say that even if we cannot find whether it is home to alien life then it will help in our search for other worlds that might be.
Astrometry has been used to discover a handful number of exoplanets, mostly gas giants more massive than Jupiter. It is based on measuring a star's proper motion, and seeing how that position changes over time: a planet with a sufficiently large mass is able to gravitationally pull its host star, making its proper motion vary over large timescales.
Astronomers have spotted a bizarre exoplanet with the most oblong, hairpin-style orbit ever discovered, and it may be on the path to becoming a “hot Jupiter.”
This makes it the most reflective exoplanet discovered so far. It completes an orbit around LTT 9779 in less than a day, making temperatures on the day side soar to over 2,000 degrees Celsius. [ 4 ] Global climate models of the planet indicate it has a very metal-rich atmosphere, with clouds made of silicate likely being present.
