What the research addresses

Exoplanets orbit stars beyond the Sun. Surveys identify candidates and follow-up observations test their planetary interpretation. Catalogued properties depend on the available observations and models.

What this does not establish

A planet’s existence, an estimated size and a potential habitable orbit are different claims. None alone establishes life.
