Can tidal forces cause an exoplanet's surface to radiate heat? This is what a study accepted to the Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a team of international researchers used data collected from ground-based instruments to confirm the existence of a second exoplanet residing within the exoplanetary system, HD 104067, along with using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission to identify an additional exoplanet candidate. The study is available on the arXiv preprint server.
