Description
The historic quest to detect circumbinary planets (CBPs) dates back to a time before the first extrasolar planets were detected. Eclipsing binary star systems (EBs) were considered prime targets for the detection of CBP transits, as it was considered likely that the planetary orbits would also be close to edge on to our line of sight and so cross (transit) the stellar discs of the eclipsing stars. The presence of CBPs remained however doubtful until the unequivocal detection, by transit, of Kepler-16b and of further CBPs with the NASA Kepler space telescope.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
