Grant Activity:
The MARVEL exoplanet facility
Purpose:
This project aims to deliver critical parts for the new $6M international MARVEL exoplanet facility, in exchange for full access of Australian researchers to the facility. MARVEL is a robotic telescope array and cutting edge spectrograph at one of the best sites in the world. MARVEL is dedicated to collecting critical data on rocky exoplanet candidates from the TESS and PLATO space missions. Outcomes include finding the nearest terrestrial exoplanets, gaining a detailed understanding of their stellar systems, and identifying targets suitable for future searches for life based on atmospheric biomarkers. This project ensures a leading role for Australia in exoplanet science, one of the most exciting endeavours in astronomy.
