MIRA: a data management and education platform connecting students to robotic telescopes
Peter P. Pedersen, Lionel Garcia, Mahshid Alimi +3
Hands-on telescope experience is often used to drive student engagement in astronomy education, but scaling access to larger groups of students is operationally challenging. Conseq…
Astra: an open-source fully autonomous robotic observatory control software
Peter P. Pedersen, David Degen, Lionel Garcia +12
Robotic and autonomous observatories are critical for modern time-domain and high-cadence astronomical surveys. The operation of these facilities requires complex software coordina…
SPECULOOS: five years hunting terrestrial planets around ultra-cool dwarfs
Sebastián Zúñiga-Fernández, Michael Gillon, SPECULOOS consortium
The SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars) project aims to detect temperate terrestrial planets transiting nearby ultracool dwarfs, including late M-dw…
Infrared photometry with InGaAs detectors: First light with SPECULOOS
Peter P. Pedersen, Didier Queloz, Lionel Garcia +15
We present the photometric performance of SPIRIT, a ground-based near-infrared InGaAs CMOS-based instrument (1280 by 1024 pixels, 12 micron pitch), using on-sky results from the SP…
Detection of an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting the nearby ultracool dwarf star SPECULOOS-3
Michaël Gillon, Peter P. Pedersen, Benjamin V. Rackham +81
Located at the bottom of the main sequence, ultracool dwarf stars are widespread in the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, their extremely low luminosity has left their planetary p…
nuance: Efficient detection of planets transiting active stars
Lionel Garcia, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Catriona A. Murray +3
The detection of planetary transits in the light curves of active stars, featuring correlated noise in the form of stellar variability, remains a challenge. Depending on the noise…
