CharlaPLATO: 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...

CharlaPrimitive 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...

CharlaRevealing 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...

CharlaSearch 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...

CharlaSearching for Warm Planets around Ultracool Dwarfs
Ultracool dwarfs represent the low-mass tail of the distribution of primary masses for which planets can be found with the Kepler satellite. Our team has...

CharlaSmall 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...

CharlaSniffing 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...
