Small-Body Science with the Nautilus Space Observatory: From Cislunar Space Resilience to Mapping the Kuiper-Belt-to-Oort-Cloud Transition
J. de Wit, A. Y. Burdanov, P. McGill +3
A new generation of space-based observatories can transform small-body science from the local Earth-Moon environment to the Solar System's dynamical frontier, where planetary contr…
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…
Cryoscope: A Cryogenic Infrared Survey Telescope in Antarctica
Mansi M. Kasliwal, Nicholas Earley, Roger Smith +58
We present Cryoscope--a new 50 deg field-of-view, 1.2 m aperture, survey telescope to be located at Dome C, Antarctica. Cryoscope has an innovative optical-thermal d…
SPECULOOS Northern Observatory: searching for red worlds in the northern skies
Artem Y. Burdanov, Julien de Wit, Michaël Gillon +14
SPECULOOS is a ground-based transit survey consisting of six identical 1-m robotic telescopes. The immediate goal of the project is to detect temperate terrestrial planets transiti…
Search for an alien communication from the Solar System to a neighbor star
Michael Gillon, Artem Burdanov, Jason T. Wright
Under the hypothesis that self-reproducing probes have formed a galactic-scale communication network by direct Gravitationally-Lensed (GL) links between neighboring systems, we ide…
SPECULOOS: a network of robotic telescopes to hunt for terrestrial planets around the nearest ultracool dwarfs
Laetitia Delrez, Michael Gillon, Didier Queloz +18
We present here SPECULOOS, a new exoplanet transit search based on a network of 1m-class robotic telescopes targeting the 1200 ultracool (spectral type M7 and later) dwarfs b…
SPECULOOS exoplanet search and its prototype on TRAPPIST
Artem Burdanov, Laetitia Delrez, Michaël Gillon +1
One of the most significant goals of modern science is establishing whether life exists around other suns. The most direct path towards its achievement is the detection and atmosph…
Comparative performance of selected variability detection techniques in photometric time series
K. V. Sokolovsky, P. Gavras, A. Karampelas +20
Photometric measurements are prone to systematic errors presenting a challenge to low-amplitude variability detection. In search for a general-purpose variability detection techniq…
Benchmarking the power of amateur observatories for TTV exoplanets detection
Roman V. Baluev, Evgenii N. Sokov, Vakhit Sh. Shaidulin +13
We perform an analysis of ~80000 photometric measurements for the following 10 stars hosting transiting planets: WASP-2, -4, -5, -52, Kelt-1, CoRoT-2, XO-2, TrES-1, HD 189733, GJ 4…
Astrokit -- an Efficient Program for High-Precision Differential CCD Photometry and Search for Variable Stars
Artem Y. Burdanov, Vadim V. Krushinsky, Alexander A. Popov
Having a need to perform differential photometry for tens of thousands stars in a several square degrees field, we developed Astrokit program. The software corrects the star bright…
