It’s a great pleasure to welcome Emily Garvin to our research group as a new doctoral student!

On 8 February, Gabriele successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Observing planet formation in multiple wavelengths”. Congratulations!

We do not yet know whether the Sun-​like stars closest to us, the α Centauri A/B binary, harbour an Earth-​like planet. However, thanks to new modelling work, we now have a good sense of what such a planet, should it exist, would look like and how it might have evolved.
