The Search for New Benchmark Extreme Neptune-like Planets

We use high precision radial-velocity instruments in Chile to confirm planet candidates identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).  These planets will then be placed into our sample for atmospheric follow-up observations, with the overall goal to better characterize the population of rare low-mass worlds.

Type of project: Research – actively recruiting new young researchers
Status: Ongoing
Researchers: James Jenkins, Pablo Peña, and Suman Saha
Funding source: FONDECYT Regular, Basal CATA2
