As Equal Times closes, the work continues
This is it. Our final article. Equal Times, the global labour news platform, will cease to publish as of December 2025. The website – which was, for more than a decade, an invaluable resource on the realities of work, society, fundamental rights, and more: the victories secured, the innovations introduced, but also the many indignities, injustices and stubborn anachronisms endured – will remain online, but no new content will be added. We launched back in autumn 2012 with a simple mission …

Detection and characterisation of a 106-day transiting Jupiter : TOI-2449 b / NGTS-36 b
Only a handful of transiting giant exoplanets with orbital periods longer than 100 days are known. These warm exoplanets are valuable objects as their radius and mass can be measured leading to an in-depth characterisation of the planet's properties. Thanks to low levels of stellar irradiation and large orbital distances, the atmospheric properties and orbital parameters of warm exoplanets remain relatively unaltered by their host star, giving new insights into planetary formation and evolution…
