Paranal solar Espresso Telescope
PoET Science Team

The PoET project is led by its PI (N. Santos - IA/Univ. Porto) and its science activities are coordinated by a Science Team (Chair: Ângela Santos - IA and CEA). This Science Team is organized into 3 different working groups:

  • WP1: Radial Velocities

    Lead: João Faria (Univ. Geneva), André Silva (IA/U. Porto)

    The main goal of this WG is to exploit PoET data to better understand and model stellar noise in high-precision radial velocity time series.

  • WP2: Exoplanet Atmospheres

    Lead: Heather Cegla (Univ. Warwick), William Dethier (IA/U. Porto)

    This WG mostly focuses on exploring the effects of stellar physics in the extraction of exoplanet atmosphere signatures using high-resolution transmission spectroscopy.

  • WP3: Solar and Stellar Physics

    Lead: Ricardo Gafeira (IA/Univ. Coimbra), Hans-Peter Doerr (Thüringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg)

    This WG explores the use unique set of PoET data to tackle state-of-the-art solar and stellar physics problems.



All Science Team members of PoET can submit proposals for specific observations using the Proposal interface.
