The aim of the IAC Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter is to obtain quantitative measurements of the polarization state of the solar radiation collected in near...
TMAP: A NEO follow-up program utilizing undergraduate observers
In the spring of 2000 we began TMAP (Table Mountain Astrometry Project), a program designed to provide timely astrometric followup of newly discovered near...
TOI-178: a window into the formation and evolution of planetary systems
Laplacian resonant chains — where astronomical bodies are in mean motion resonance with two or more other bodies — are rare phenomena observed in systems such...
TOI-178: the best laboratory for testing planetary formation theories
The atmospheric characterisation of multiple exoplanets in the same system can provide a window into the processes that underpinned their formation and...
TOI-2136b: a sub-Neptune planet around a nearby M3 dwarf
Small planets with a radius between 1-4 Earth radii are extremely common in the Milky Way but their planetary formation and evolution are not revealed...
TOI-776: a multi-planetary system around a bright M dwarf optimal for JWST
In this talk, I present the discovery and characterization of two transiting planets around the bright M1 V star TOI-776 (J=8.5 mag), detected during Sector 10...
Tomographic wavefront retrieval by combined use of geometric and plenoptic sensors
Modern astronomic telescopes take advantage of multi-conjugate adaptive optics, in which wavefront sensors play a key role. A single sensor capable of measuring...
Too Few to be Relevant: Major Merger Statistics up to z ˜ 1
We study the evolution of galaxy structure and of the major merger fraction since z ˜ 1 to present in GOODS-S field for MB ≤ -20 and M* ≥ 1010 Msun selected...
