Do Exoplanets Have Rings?

Astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets and are now focusing on finding exorings. Techniques like stellar occultation and the transit method are used to detect these rings. Cassini's mission revealed intricate details about Saturn's rings, which could inform exoplanet studies. The first potential exorings were found around J1407b, a massive planet or brown dwarf. Detecting exorings is challenging due to technological and geometric limitations, but future advancements may improve detection capabilities.
