About
Discuss a global network of two-to-four-metre telescopes equipped with high-resolution, highly stable spectrographs to characterise small and long-period exoplanets through radial velocities. The meeting connects instrument builders and operators with data-analysis specialists and scientific-network managers.
The proposed performance exceeds resolving power 100,000 and targets stability below 50 centimetres per second. This Theo Murphy meeting is intended for researchers in relevant fields and takes place in person. Attendance is free but requires an invitation: applicants state their expertise and reasons for attending, and organisers review requests on a rolling basis. Catering and accommodation are separate. Registered participants are invited to submit posters; submissions within one month of the event may miss the programme booklet.
