Funded Activity Summary

The Origins and Evolution of the Most Abundant Planets in our Galaxy. The majority of planetary systems around other stars are not like our Solar System. We now know that the most common types of exoplanets are super-Earths and Neptunes, planets with sizes ranging from Earth to Neptune, residing close to their parent stars. This project aims to characterise these planets at various stages of their evolution. This project will utilise Australian facilities to characterise new planets from the TESS space telescope, and is expected to probe the dynamical and physical properties of super-Earths and Neptunes as a function of age. Important benefits from this project include directly answering the origins of this dominant class of planets, and developing the techniques for the next decade of exoplanetary research.
