Geophysical habitability of Earth-like planets

09/06/2016 @ 14:00 - 15:00

ETH Zürich Astronomy, 09.06.2016, 14:00, HIT J 43.1,  Prof. Stephen J. Mojzsis, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA (http://isotope.colorado.edu/~mojzsis/) What makes an Earth-like planet geophysically habitable? The chemical makeup of a planet is as important to its habitable potential as its proximity to the “habitable zone”. Planetary elemental abundances govern mantle processes, and thus the nature of crust, atmosphere and hydrosphere. For example, without plate tectonics dictated by internal heat and mineral composition (translated into rheology), and liquid water, a sustained…

The CHaracterizing ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) will be dedicated to search for transits by means of ultrahigh precision photometry on bright stars already known to host planets. It is the first S-class mission from ESA. CHEOPS will have a nominal lifetime of 3.5 years, with launch-readiness targeted for end 2017. The purpose of this fourth CHEOPS science workshop is to bring together the community interested in the mission, providing information about its current status and preparing its scientific exploitation.

Congress: Exoplanets I

03/07/2016 - 08/07/2016
Davos Congress Center, Talstrasse 49a
7270 Davos, Switzerland

The astronomical community is in an expansion phase of exoplanet science, especially with several American and European space missions (TESS, CHEOPS, PLATO, JWST) on the horizon (2017 to 2024). The new Exoplanets conference series aims to consolidate all aspects of exoplanet science and strike a balance between: Exoplanet theory, observations and instrumentation; Exoplanet discovery and atmospheric characterisation; Transiting and directly imaged exoplanets; Ground- and space-based surveys/missions; American and European participation. We aim to expand upon the “Planets” in the “Protostars…

On Thursday, 9 March 2017, scientists from the University of Bern will speak about the findings. And as a special guest SF writer Laurence Suhner will read her latest novel. The event is open to the public. On 22 February 2017, NASA announced the discovery of seven temperate Earth-size planets around the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1.…

Extrasolar Planets: A Laboratory to Confront the Theory of a Planet Formation with Observations

15/03/2017 @ 18:15 - 20:00
International Space Science Instiutute (ISSI), Hallerstrasse 6, Room 205
Bern, 3012 Switzerland

Before the discovery of the first extrasolar planet about 20 years ago it was thought that the global structure of the Solar System is not a coincidence, but rather a necessary consequence of the physics of the planetary formation process. Theoreticians therefore also predicted that planetary systems around other stars should be similar to our system at large. Observations have proven otherwise: with the counter of known extrasolar planets now at 3000, there is one word that describes them best:…
