Scientists from #MPSGoettingen are contributing to and organizing part of the program of the Annual meeting of the German Astronomical Society #ag2025goerlitz

https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/program/index.php

In particular, the splinter session on "Observation and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets" is co-organised by @DrReneHeller https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/view_splinter.php?session=ExoPlanets

and the splinter session on "Protoplanetary disks and planet formation at high-angular resolution" is co-organised by @astrojoanna https://ag2025.astronomische-gesellschaft.de/view_splinter.php?session=PlanetFormation

Looking forward to the line-up of talks over the next coming days!

What's this "transit method" that the #ESA #PLATOmission team will be using to detect extrasolar planets? Experience transits firsthand in our pendulum experiment that models how a planet passes in front of its star and changes the brightness that we can observe, as René Heller demonstrates in this video:

What do these two things have in common? We'll tell you all about it tomorrow! And you'll get to play with one of them, too 🎾 🔭

#ndwgoecountdown Vortrag – Die Entdeckung von Planeten um ferne Sterne mit der PLATO-Mission

Neben den acht Planeten unseres Sonnensystems wurden um andere Sterne bereits über 5800 Planeten entdeckt. Am MPS bereiten wir in Zusammenarbeit u.a. mit der ESA die Weltraummission PLATO vor. Mit PLATO werden wir bald tausende neuer Exoplaneten entdecken.

#ndwgoecountdown Exoplaneten – Entdeckung von Planeten um ferne Sterne

Tausende Planeten, die um ferne Sterne kreisen, sind bisher bekannt. Doch wie entdeckt man einen Planeten, der viele Lichtjahre von uns entfernt ist? Im Mitmachexperiment erläutern Forscher*innen eine der gängigsten Methoden und berichten von der künftigen Weltraummission PLATO und ihrer Suche nach erdähnlichen Planeten.
