EOS-NExSS Team

A major NASA-funded research team studying the formation, properties, and distribution of extrasolar planets capable of sustaining life.

Full house at today’s Alien Earths astrobiology meeting in Tucson! An exciting day packed with talks and discussions. In its first 3 years, Alien Earths already published 100 ref’d papers, including exciting discoveries. I am lucky to work with such a great team! @EOSNExSS

Assessing habitability of extraterrestrial worlds&interpreting biosignatures are key but difficult tasks: Info are very incomplete. Comprehensive, probabilistic approach is key, as in this nice Enceladus study: https://t.co/pFFNwwwxZu @AAffholder @EOSNExSS @nexssinfo @uazresearch

[Daniel Apai @danielapai]

Come and join our awesome NExSS/Alien Earths astrobiology & exoplanets research team in Tucson at @azstewobs and @UArizonaLPL! We have exciting postdoc positions open in a broad range of exoplanets/planet formation/atmospheres topics: https://t.co/T6F2NHc5VM @nexssinfo @EOSNExSS

New study by @EOSNExSS members @danielapai and Alex Bixel on hypothesis-testing with future biosignature survey mission concepts!

[Daniel Apai @danielapai]

Excited to present our Bioverse study, fresh on arXiv! Great experiments test important hypotheses. What hypotheses can we test with biosignature-survey missions as a function of their capabilities?

How cool would it be to reliably predict where new exoplanets can be found in multi-planet systems? Now we can, thanks to @azstewobs student Jeremy Dietrich! Periods+radii+inclinations. Based on Kepler, tested on Kepler+TESS data: https://t.co/ywnmDUtE6H @EOSNExSS @UArizonaLPL

Cool new results from @GijsMulders and our EOS team: the Genesis Database with hundreds of simulated formation pathways of planetary systems, incl. accretion histories. @fredciesla @ilaria_pascucci @EOSNExSS @nexssinfo https://t.co/RQijiGTIQd

Identifying exo-earths among other planets in images of LUVOIR-like space telescopes won't be easy. In a new study w Alex Bixel we show how Bayesian classification and contextual info can increase mission yield: https://t.co/XRMLLizoyg

@GijsMulders explaining how to test planet formation models using @NASAKepler data at the first #EOS_Origins seminar of the semester @UALPL

[Project EDEN @edensurvey]

We are starting another exciting night in the EDEN survey - this time on the 61” Kuiper telescope. Tonight we ade targeting two very nearby red dwarf stars in search of Earth-sized planets!
