在USQ的肯特山天文台用MINERVA-Australis了解超级地球
Understanding Super-Earths with MINERVA-Australis at USQ's Mount Kent Observatory
摘要：
超级地球，质量在5-10个地球之间的行星，是已知的最常见的系外行星类型，但在我们的太阳系中完全没有。因此，它们的详细性质，组成和形成机制知之甚少。美国宇航局的凌日系外行星调查卫星（TESS）将识别数百颗围绕明亮恒星运行的超级地球，这是第一次允许深入描述这些行星。在南昆士兰大学，我们是MINERVA-Australis项目的主持人，该项目完全致力于TESS行星的后续表征和质量测量。我们给出了MINERVA-Australis的最新状态和我们的预期性能。
英文摘要：
Super Earths, planets between 5-10 Earth masses, are the most common type of exoplanet known, yet are completely absent from our Solar system. As a result, their detailed properties, compositions, and formation mechanisms are poorly understood. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will identify hundreds of Super-Earths orbiting bright stars, for the first time allowing in-depth characterisation of these planets. At the University of Southern Queensland, we are host to the MINERVA-Australis project, dedicated wholly to the follow-up characterisation and mass measurement of TESS planets. We give an update on the status of MINERVA-Australis and our expected performance.
