The Next Transit Hunters
The exoplanet hunt is on. The stakes are high. What will our next-generation telescopes find?
The Radial Velocity Method: Current and Future Prospects
Much of what we know today about exoplanets is due to the success of the radial velocity method. Where does it stand now? What is its future?
Using observations from home to improve the transit method
Most exoplanets are and have been detected by the transit method. Maybe, we can improve the method even further by drawing conclusions from the recent Venus transits in 2004 and 2012.

ESPRESSO: A scientific Pandora’s box
Are you on the lookout to see if there are habitable planets are out there? Or do you want to see how or if physical ‘constants’ have varied with time? Why not design a versatile instrument capable at tackling a wealth of outstanding questions in astronomy: a sort of a “scientific pandora’s box” for extremely high precision astronomical research? This is where ESPRESSO comes in…
