The « Action pluri-annuelle » Exoplanets of Paris Observatory aims at supporting works between scientific teams working on the study of exoplanetary systems.
Thematics supported by the API :
- Formation and evolution of exolanetary systems
- Circumstellar disks
- Detection methods
- Instrumentation
- Star-planet interactions
- Characterization and modeling (atmosphere, interior, surface, dynamics)
- Habitability and biosignatures
One of the goals is to develop new activities at the interfaces, in particular for 1) synergies between methods of detection/characterization of exoplanets and 2) the atmospheres and habitability of exoplanets (previously supported by the PSL project OCAV). The API also participate to the exercice « Exoplanètes » from the film and television school La Fémis.
The API « Exoplanets » is supported by Paris Observatory.
