  • Detecting farside active regions with Deep Learning
    The identification of active regions in the far-side of the Sun by analyzing the oscillations on the Earth-side is one of the most impressive results from local helioseismology. The interest in the detection of active regions in the farside goes beyond the simple curiosity of measuring them before they rotate into the visible hemisphere. Due to the

  • Detection and characterization of Earth-like planets in nearby stars
    Based on statistics provided by the Kepler space mission and searches performed with Doppler techniques, super-Earth and Earth-like exoplanets (Rp ~ 0.8-2 times the Earth radius) could exist in about 10-20% of the Sun-like stars and potentially in more than 50% of the stars smaller than the Sun. Despite this, we still do not know which stars in the

  • NanoFull: Fullerene- and graphene-based molecular nanostructures in circumstellar envelopes
    NanoFull is an ambitious interdisciplinary project to: i) understand the process of formation process of fullerene- and graphene-based molecular nanostructures in circumstellar envelopes through the decomposition of "natural" nanoparticles with aromatic and aliphatic composition; ii) detect other forms of carbon in space. Surprisingly, detections

  • Construction of the MEU-PSU unit of the PLATO space mission
    The objective of this initiative is to give continuity to the pending tasks in the construction and delivery of the MEU-PSU (Main Electronic Unit - Power Supply Unit) of the PLATO space mission. The main objective of PLATO is the identification and characterization of exoplanetary systems, focused on terrestrial-type planets in the habitable zone

  • Feasibility and conceptual study of the thermometers read-out chain and thermal control of the MHFT European telescopes of LiteBIRD.
    The main scientific goal of this project is the design of the read-out and thermal control system for the medium and high frequency telescopes (MHFT) of LiteBIRD, a JAXA-led space mission, currently in phase A, with launch expected for 2029. LiteBIRD will scan the sky from the second Lagrange point for 3 years, with the goal to produce an extremely
