Revealing planet migration and detection of terrestrial planets with improved spectroscopic tools
Spectroscopic observations of stars do not only provide us with valuable information about the stars themselves, but over the last years such observations have...
SARA SEAGER: “En 10 años tendremos la capacidad de encontrar vida en un exoplaneta”

Scanning the population of planetary systems around stars with wide brown dwarf companions
Stars with wide brown dwarf companions that host exoplanets are extremely rare, as only four were reported to date. Different theories propose that planets can...
Search for weak periodic signals buried in noisy time series using modern Bayesian methods: secondary eclipses in Kepler light curves
Detection and characterisation of weak periodic signals from noisy time series is a common problem in many different fields of astrophysics. Here I detail one...
In a recent preprint, Pepper et al. (2002) evaluate the sensitivity of photon-noise limited transit searches for habitable planets. They conclude that these...
Simulations Predicting the Ability of Multi-color Simultaneous Photometry to Distinguish TESS Candidate Exoplanets from False Positives
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is currently concluding its 2 yr primary science mission searching 85% of the sky for transiting exoplanets...
Spectra of Transiting Extrasolar Planets: Past, Present, and Future
We review observations of a representative set of extrasolar planets that transit their stars, concentrating on those discovered and characterized by the XO...
