Un nuevo cazador de planetas despierta Investigadores del #IACastrofísica han participado en el desarrollo de NIRPS, un instrumento instalado en el telescopio de 3,6 m del ESO, que ya busca exoplanetas alrededor de las estrellas + frías de la Vía Láctea iac.es/es/divulgacion…

An international team of astronomers have detected the presence of a very low-mass planet orbiting the star closest to the Sun, Proxima Centauri. Proxima d is the third in the system and is one of the lightest planets ever found. 📷:ESO/L. Calçada

This account has been silent, but the ESPRESSO team hasn't! On the past months we've published some results that might be of your interest. Let's start with the transmission spectroscopy of MASCARA-1b, showcasing what happens when the planet path overlaps with the doppler shadow

A study, led entirely by researchers Rafael Luque, from The University of Chicago and IAA-CSIC, and Enric Pallé, from #IACastrofísica and Universidad de La Laguna, confirms that "water worlds" could be as common as Earths. ℹ️ ow.ly/2qe250KEy7A 🖼️ Crédito: Pilar Montañés

We are very happy to release today a very insteresting paper lead by our colleague Susana Barros (from IAstro) on a five (5!!) planets system with three of them having sub-Earth (sub-Earth!!) masses. A few ideas on this great #ESPRESSO discovery: 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1051/0004-6…

A scientific team led by #IACastrofísica has discovered two potentially habitable exo-Earths around a star near the Sun. The discovery was made thanks to the collaboration between ESPRESSO Science Team and Carmenes Exoplanets ℹ️ ow.ly/8iv850M3Kt9 🖼️ A.S. Mascareño & I. Bonet (IAC)

Un equipo internacional, liderado por el #IACastrofísica, ha descubierto dos exotierras potencialmente habitables en órbita a una estrella cercana al Sol. El hallazgo ha sido posible gracias a la colaboración ESPRESSO Science Team y Carmenes Exoplanets. ℹ️ ow.ly/OtoL50M3J3t

Say hello to two new nearby potentially habitable exoplanets! GJ 1002, a tiny red-dwarf, hosts two Earth-mass planets. The article, led by @AlexSM10000ft and written in collaboration with Carmenes Exoplanets, is available now on arXiv.org arxiv.org/pdf/2212.07332…

More fantastic work from Exoplanets IAC researchers, using #ESPRESSO! ESPRESSO Science Team

A fantastic group of researchers together working on the design the future #ANDES spectrograph for the future #eso #ELT telescope (just a sub-section of the team). With this ambitious instrument we will study the atmospheres of nearby Earth-like planets, such as Proxima b
