With the discovery of planets beyond our solar system 25 years ago, exoplanet research has expanded dramatically, with new state-of-the-art ground-based and space-based missions dedicated to their ...
To detect exoplanets that orbit further out, an upcoming NASA mission, the Roman Space Telescope, will use gravitational microlensing, in which a nearby star will bend and focus light from a ...
The Institute of Planetary Research participates to (almost) all planetary science missions of ESA, is a key partner in missions exploring exoplanets and contributes with instruments and data ...
We are developing new techniques, models and theories to understand the conditions for habitability and for remote sensing of biosignatures. We design and operate exoplanet space missions and exploit ...
