Group for Exoplanet Characterisation and Evolution

The Group for Exoplanet Characterisation and Evolution concentrates on the observation and analysis of multi-wavelength exoplanet transmission and emission, photometric and spectroscopic observations obtained from both ground- (e.g. ESO, GTC) and space-based facilities (HST, Spitzer). The group is also involved in various theoretical exoplanet projects. Our goals are the detection and study of exoplanetary (upper) atmospheres to constrain atmospheric structure and evolution.

Our group is also heavily involved in the CHEOPS (ESA), CUTE (NASA), PLATO (ESA), ARIEL (ESA), ESCAPE (NASA), and LUVOIR (NASA) missions at the scientific and engineering level.
