Projects
The project aims at discovering natural satellites around high-contrast imaging planets. This is the first group trying to detect satellites via direct
We are developing new modeling algorithms that use Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, coupled to Bayesian statistics, with the goal of discovering
We use high precision radial-velocity instruments in Chile to confirm planet candidates identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). These planets
We use both ground based high-resolution spectroscopy and space-based secondary eclipse measurements to study the chemical compositions, physical structures, and dynamical processes
Chemical abundances of long-lived stars can be used as fossil records of Galactic history, hence serving as a proxy for the Milky
Stellar spectroscopy is the technique to determine stellar parameters and chemical abundances of stars, and relies on the modeling of stellar atmospheres
The Milky Way Mapper of the SDSS-V will survey more than one million stars in the Milky Way providing a wealth of
The Local Volumen Mapper is an IFU survey mapping out the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds using a new facility located
Galaxies are composed of multiple components, such as bulges, discs, bars and spiral arms amongst others. As the galaxy transforms over time,
Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) lie at the centers of many galaxies, but their formation and growth mechanisms are still uncertain. For example,
