GEMS out of this world: Astronomers find a new Saturn-like exoplanet around an M-dwarf star

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a new giant exoplanet around an M-dwarf star (GEMS). The newfound GEMS, designated TOI-5573 b, is comparable in size to Saturn and its mass is estimated to be 0.35 Jupiter masses. The findings were detailed in a research paper published May 13 on the arXiv preprint server.
