"Measuring Eta_Earth: Characterization of Terrestrial Planetary Systems with Kepler, HARPS-N, and Gaia" (ETAEARTH)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"We propose to carry out an FP7 collaborative project to provide the first ever quantitative answer to one fundamental age-old question of mankind: ‘How common are Earth analogs in our Galaxy?’. We will achieve our goal by combining the unprecedented photometric precision of NASA’s Kepler mission, the unrivalled precision of ground-based radial-velocities from the HARPS-N spectrograph, and ESA’s G ...

Gaia European Network for Improved data User Services (GENIUS)

Start date: Sep 20, 2013, End date: Apr 1, 2017,

GENIUS is designed to boost the impact of the next European breakthrough in astrophysics, the Gaia astrometric mission. Gaia is an ESA Cornerstone mission scheduled for launch in October 2013 and aims at producing the most accurate andcomplete 3D map of the Milky Way to date. A pan-European consortium named DPAC is working on the implementation of the Gaia data processing, of which the final resul ...

Interpretation and Parameterization of Extremely Red COOL dwarfs (IPERCOOL)

Start date: Nov 15, 2010, End date: Nov 14, 2014,

"We propose a collaboration of Torino Observatory (OATo), the Center for Astrophysical Research at the University of Hertfordshire (CAR-UH), the National Brazilian Observatory (ON/MCT) and the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) on the interpretation of low mass star and brown dwarf observations. We have a number of ongoing observational collaborations to determine the distance to over 200 ne ...

Space Weather Integrated Forecasting Framework (SWIFF)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

"We address two fundamental issues in space weather: 1) development of a integrated framework for the physics modelling of space weather, 2) study of methods and software to address the linkage (coupling) between different physics and processes developing simultaneously or in cascade. We propose a plan that starts from the fundamental physics of the space weather processes and designs, first, math ...

Parallaxes of Southern Extremely Cool Objects (PARSEC)

Start date: Apr 14, 2010, End date: Jun 13, 2012,

"We request an Incoming International Fellowship for Dr Alexandre Andrei from the Observatório Nacional (ON) in Brazil to work at the Osservatorio Astronomico di Torino (OATo) on a research program to measure the parallaxes, hence distances, of nearby sub-stellar objects. The project plan requires data treatment and analysis, the development of astrometric methods, and the astrophysical exploitati ...
