    PLATO: The ESA Cosmic Vision planetray system characterizer
    I present a general overview of the PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) space mission. PLATO was approved by ESA’s Science Programme Committee...

    Primitive materials preserved in meteorites and comets: clues on the stellar sources producing short-lived nuclides and presolar grains
    Short-lived nuclides (SLNs) were incorporated to the solar nebula at the time of condensation of the first minerals from the vapor phase. The study of the...

    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...

    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...

    Small bodies and big impacts: comets, asteroids, and the origin of water and organics on Earth
    The role of asteroids and comet impacts on the origin of Earth’s water and organic molecules is reviewed. Earth is believed to have formed dry, and magma oceans...

    Sniffing Alien Atmospheres: Exoplanet spectrophotometry (from ground-, airborne- and space-based observatories)
    In my presentation I will give a short introduction to the science of extrasolar planets, in particular the technique of transit, eclipse and phasecurve spectro...

    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...

    Spitzer Space Telescope studies of primitive solar system objects
    The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on Spitzer has observed more than 120 asteroids, several Centaurs and Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs), and satellites of the giant...
