Major prospects of exoplanet astronomy with the World Space Observatory–UltraViolet mission

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2014
The success of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) first and then of the STIS and COS spectrographs on-board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) demonstrate the impact that observations at UV wavelengths had and are having on modern astronomy. Several discoveries in the exoplanet field have been done at UV wavelengths. Nevertheless, the amount of

The search for exoplanets using ultra-long wavelength radio astronomy

2017 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2017
Recent studies on extra solar planets (exoplanets) provide us with a new glimpse into the Milky Way's composition. Exoplanets appear to be very typical around Sunlike stars. Most of these exoplanets are observed via indirect measurements. If a direct radio observation of the exoplanet's signal was possible, new scientific information will help us in ...

MEC: the MKID exoplanet camera for high contrast astronomy at Subaru (Conference Presentation)

Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VII, 2018
Direct Imaging of exoplanets is one of the most technically difficult techniques used to study exoplanets, but holds immense promise for not just detecting but characterizing planets around the nearest stars. Ambitious instruments at the world’s largest telescopes have been built to carry out this science: the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), SPHERE at VLT,

The detection of circumbinary exoplanets through gravitational waves astronomy

The discovery and study of exoplanets in their diversity is arguably one of the most exciting development in astronomy over the past 25 years, rivalled by the detection of gravitational waves.In this talk I will merge these two fields presenting an original observational method which employs gravitational waves to detect exoplanets. In ...

The Europlanet Society support to Amateur Astronomy in planetary science and exoplanets observations

The Europlanet Association and its related Europlanet Society are a key part of the long-standing legacy of several research infrastructure projects funded by the European Commission. The last of those projects was the Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure (grant agreement No 871149), which was a partnership among more than 50 different beneficiary ...

Astronomy from the Moon: From Exoplanets to Cosmology in Visible Light

I look at what astronomy from the Moon might be like in the visible over the next few decades.The Moon offers the possibility of installing large telescopes or interferometers with instruments larger than those on orbiting telescopes. I first present examples of ambitious science cases, in particular ideas that cannot be implemented from Earth.

Democratizing and Enhancing Exoplanet Research with the Unistellar Citizen Science Network and Astronomy Modeling Instruction

This thesis explores the potential in democratizing and augmenting exoplanet research via citizen science by utilizing a global network of portable image-intensified computerized telescopes, and inquiry-based astronomy instruction. A central objective is to establish that citizen scientists, using exoplanet transit photometry with compact, connected ...

Software Development within STScI’s TIKE Server to Increase Accessibility of TESS Exoplanet Transit Data to Introductory Astronomy Students

A sorely underutilized tool in teaching astronomy concepts to new students of astronomy are exoplanet transits. They have the potential to be easy to understand, while demonstrating the concepts of light curves, creating time-series data from a single pixel, how Kepler’s laws can be practically used, and generally how astronomers are able to imply a ...
