I sistemi planetari analoghi al sistema solare: un approccio olistico per il prossimo ventennio (chair: J.R. Brucato)
A broad diversity in architectures of planetary systems is emerging from various planet search projects with different techniques and several statistical properties are consolidating. A brief observational overview of the statistical properties of exoplanets will be presented, considering both giant planets and low-mass planets, with emphasis on multi-planet systems and systems somewhat...
"The study of exoplanetary atmospheres represents one of the most exciting frontiers in modern astrophysics. By analyzing their composition, thermal structure, and dynamical properties, we can gain deep insights into the diversity of extrasolar planets and assess the potential for habitable conditions beyond our Solar System.
A wide range of observational techniques is currently employed to...
Observing protoplanetary disks and searching for embedded planets is essential to understanding the early stages of planet formation and the dynamical processes shaping young systems. The transition disk of HD 135344B, with its well-defined spiral arms and inner cavity, represents an ideal laboratory to study such interactions. I will present the discovery of a potential protoplanet within...
"ESA’s Gaia mission is ushering in a new era of exoplanet detection through space-based astrometry. While Gaia DR3 provided tantalizing early results — including orbital hints and dynamical masses for a few known planets — the forthcoming Data Release 4 (DR4), expected in 2026, will mark a pivotal milestone: the first large-scale catalog of exoplanets detected via astrometry. This breakthrough...
"Negli ultimi anni, il rinnovato interesse per l’esplorazione di Venere ha portato alla
selezione di numerose missioni dedicate allo studio della sua superficie e dell’attività
geologica. La possibilità di vulcanismo attivo nel presente è centrale per comprendere
l’evoluzione interna e atmosferica del pianeta (D’Incecco et al., 2021; Filiberto et al.,
2020).
