A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL

Giovanna Tinetti, +243 more
TL;DR: The ARIEL mission as mentioned in this paper was designed to observe a large number of transiting planets for statistical understanding, including gas giants, Neptunes, super-Earths and Earth-size planets around a range of host star types using transit spectroscopy in the 1.25-7.8 μm spectral range and multiple narrow-band photometry in the optical.
Journal ArticleDOI

STE-QUEST—test of the universality of free fall using cold atom interferometry

Deborah N. Aguilera, +66 more
TL;DR: The spacetime explorer and quantum equivalence principle space test satellite mission, proposed as a medium-size mission within the Cosmic Vision program of the European Space Agency (ESA), aims for testing general relativity with high precision in two experiments by performing a measurement of the gravitational redshift of the Sun and the Moon by comparing terrestrial clocks, and by performing the universality of free fall of matter waves in the gravitational field of Earth comparing the trajectory of two Bose-Einstein condensates of 85Rb and 87Rb as mentioned in this paper.

STE-QUEST - Test of the Universality of Free Fall Using Cold Atom Interferometry

Deborah N. Aguilera, +66 more
TL;DR: The STE-QUEST satellite mission as mentioned in this paper is a medium-size mission within the Cosmic Vision program of the European Space Agency (ESA), which aims to test general relativity with high precision in two experiments by performing a measurement of the gravitational redshift of the Sun and the Moon by comparing terrestrial clocks, and by comparing the trajectories of two Bose-Einstein condensates of Rb85 and Rb87.
