Our Mission
The New Worlds Lab (NWL) seeks to explore the diversity of planets orbiting stars near to the Sun, utilising the available resources in Chile to uncover their secrets and understand their characteristics. The exploration of exoplanetary systems is one pathway to gaining a more complete understanding of the origins of the solar system, and with it comes a better understanding of the origins of life on Earth, and ourselves.
Our Vision
The NWL has a clear vision to accomplish our mission goals; we aim to bring together expertise from diverse areas, focus them towards advancing these goals, whilst also nurturing a unique environment that encourages free expression and the unfiltered exchange of ideas. The Lab brings together students, postdoctoral researchers, and professors from the Universidad de Chile and beyond, to foster a fluidic network of ideas that is the bedrock of the NWL’s philosophy.
A great start to the New Year, with the acceptance of a postdoc offer to an excellent young researcher who will be coming to join our #NewWorldsLab group at the Instituto de Estudios Astrofísicos at #AstroUDP later this year.
Looking forward to more great science in 2023!!
HD95338b, a super Neptune found by @MatiasDiazM in PFS data, which as fate would have it, transits its bright host star every 55 days. Structure models suggest the planet has a 90% heavy element mass fraction. Watch out for future studies of this kid!! #NewWorldsLab
