Lost in Transits

In November 2025, I was awarded a 5-year SNSF Starting Grant to lead a large project on understanding Neptune-like planets.

We have a big press release today on the discovery of the HD110067 system, involving more than a dozen institutions across the US and Europe.

From the dawn of modern astronomy (1710): From the dawn of the Exoplanet age (1995):

Today we announce four new planetary systems which were discovered via a combination of TESS and CHEOPS photometry through a project I started on the CHEOPS GTO (see our ESA and Swiss press releases).

It’s not always obvious exactly how to proceed, so here’s a quick guide. 1) Fix compilation problems on overleaf Even though overleaf might still be able to compile a pdf with a few orange/red warnings, arxiv definitely will not.

One of my day-to-day jobs as an exoplanet astronomer is to look through transiting exoplanet candidates and find those that are actually from exoplanets.

Occasionally I have wondered which exoplanets are most loved by astronomers.

Move aside Tabby’s star – a new enigmatic star observed by K2 looks to have taken the title of the “most mysterious star in the galaxy” – HD 139139.

My most-cited work is probably not a peer-reviewed paper (to my shame), but a simple gif I made a few years ago.

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite is a rather impressive mission!
