Description
Simultaneous spectrometric and photometric observations have been performed on the red giant star Arcturus, in a search for radial velocity or luminosity variations related to global oscillations of the stellar structure. From a preliminary analysis of the spectrometric data, several frequencies have been discovered in the range from 1 to 50 micro-Hz, the highest amplitude being 60 m/s at 4.3 micro-Hz.

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
