List of exoplanets discovered in 2026

Last updated

This list of exoplanets discovered in 2026 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2026. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information. For exoplanets detected only by direct imaging or microlensing without a determined orbit, the listed value for semi-major axis is the projected separation.

Notes

  1. Mass determination depends on whether the orbit is prograde or retrograde.
  2. Mass determination depends on whether the star is an Ophiuchus or Upper Scorpius association member.
  3. 1 2 3 4 Estimated using theoretical mass–radius relations.
