Have scientists finally confirmed the existence of the first exomoon? This is what a study released on the preprint server arXiv, and accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics, hopes to address. A large international team of researchers investigated new methods for identifying an exomoon orbiting a gas giant exoplanet. The study has the potential to help scientists develop new methods for finding exomoons, the latter of which has yet to be confirmed.
