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…
Precise near-infrared photometry, accounting for precipitable water vapour at SPECULOOS Southern Observatory
Peter P. Pedersen, C. A. Murray, D. Queloz +20
The variability induced by precipitable water vapour (PWV) can heavily affect the accuracy of time-series photometric measurements gathered from the ground, especially in the near-…
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…
