The excitation of p-modes seems to be produced by turbulence in the convection zone (see, e.g., Kumar, 1997 and the references therein). Low-degree p-mode...
Exoplanet atmospheres at high spectral resolution with CARMENES
Transmission spectroscopy using high-resolution spectrographs is quickly becoming a major tool to detect and understand planetary atmospheres, from ultra hot...
We give an overview over the different techniques to detect planets in other stars. A special emphasis is given to the transit method and the French/European...
Exoplanet observations at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias IAC and its collaboration with the ExoClock project
IntroductionA group of amateur astronomers from the Sabadell Astronomical Society is using small professional telescopes to obtain exoplanets transits...
Our group is presently conducting an observational campaign, using the 10-meter Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), to obtain the transmission spectrum of several...
It is foreseen that in the near future we will be able to measure the light from extrasolar planets similar to the Earth. When these data become available, a...
