A new study by astronomers @zah_unihd and the #CARMENES project https://carmenes.caha.es/ shows that very low-mass stars with less than a sixth of the mass of the Sun are particularly likely to host #earthlikeplanets. On average, there are about two per star, which could significantly increase the chances of finding life-friendly worlds in our cosmic neighborhood. The results have now been published in Astronomy & Astrophysics https://www.aanda.org/. #astrophysics #Heidelberg #earthlikeplanets

Twee potentieel bewoonbare planeten bij nabije rode dwerg gevonden

De twee planeten met de massa van de Aarde bevinden zich binnen de bewoonbare zone van Gliese 1002. Dit is een rode dwerg die slechts 16 lichtjaar van de Aarde is verwijderd.

Two worlds discovered, all the potential for #life.
"The newly discovered #planets orbit the #star #GJ1002, which is at a distance of less than 16 light years from the #SolarSystem. Both of them have masses similar to that of the #Earth, and they are in the habitability zone of their star."

ESPRESSO and CARMENES discover two potentially habitable exo-Earths around a star near the Sun

An international scientific team led by researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has discovered the presence of two planets with Earth-like masses in orbit around the star GJ 1002, a red dwarf not far from the Solar System. Both planets are in the habitability zone of the star

The article involves the work of many people, from the
#ESPRESSO and #CARMENES consortia. Any of the two would have had much weaker results alone. This work, same as many others, highlights the importance of collaboration in science. Together we go further than alone

The planets were detected using high precision radial velocities from #ESPRESSO and #CARMENES, which were analysed using multi-dimensional Gaussian processes to model the stellar activity and disentangle it from the planetary signal.

Say hello to two new nearby potentially habitable #exoplanets ! #GJ1002, a tiny red-dwarf, hosts two Earth-mass planets. The article, a collaboration between the #ESPRESSO and #CARMENES consortia, led by me, is available now on #arxiv https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.07332.pdf #astronomy
