PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars is an ESA M-class satellite planned for launch
by the end of 2026 and dedicated to the wide-field search of transiting planets around bright …

Understanding the set of conditions that allow rocky planets to have liquid water on their
surface, in the form of lakes, seas, or oceans, is a major scientific step in determining the …

We report on the discovery of Gliese 12 b, the nearest transiting temperate, Earth-sized
planet found to date. Gliese 12 is a bright (V= 12.6 mag, K= 7.8 mag) metal-poor M4V star …

Recent discoveries of Earth-sized planets transiting nearby M dwarfs have made it possible
to characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial planets via follow-up spectroscopic …

Abstract The Japan Astrometry Satellite Mission for INfrared Exploration (JASMINE) is a
planned M-class science space mission by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science …

Planetary systems with multiple transiting planets are beneficial for understanding planet
occurrence rates and system architectures. Although we have yet to find a solar system (SS) …

PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is an ESA M-class mission to be
launched by the end of 2026 to discover and characterize transiting planets around bright …

Searching for exoplanets with different methods has always been the focus of astronomers
over the past few years. Among multiple planet detection techniques, astrometry stands out …

Our species has long wondered about our place among the stars. With the golden age of
astrobiology upon us, we are now on the cusp of answering the question “Are we alone?” …

We have built a model to evaluate the potential dynamical stability of binary planets in
compact multi-planetary systems. We have identified 49 candidate systems that we then …
