Descripción
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.

    Spectroscopy of human-made space objects: from low Earth orbit debris to satellite constellations and exotic outliers
    As the commercial space industry advances, the number of artificial objects orbiting the Earth rises exponentially. To categorize the reflectivity of bright Low Earth Orbit (LEO) objects, a number of spectroscopic observations of such objects was performed in collaboration with the Astronomical Institute of the University in Bern, Switzerland

    Prompt Searches for Very-high-energy γ-Ray Counterparts to IceCube Astrophysical Neutrino Alerts
    The search for sources of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos can be significantly advanced through a multimessenger approach, which seeks to detect the γ-rays that accompany neutrinos as they are produced at their sources. Multimessenger observations have so far provided the first evidence for a neutrino source, illustrated by the joint detection

    A Précis of the MOA-II Observations
    The Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration is an international research project that uses gravitational microlensing for the discovery of exoplanets. MOA was initiated in the late 1990s and primarily involves institutions from Japan and New Zealand. The collaboration's observation site is the Mount John Observatory in New
