Exoplanets and Astrobiology

CATA aimed to take a new step in its ongoing quest to understand the universe. In this area, the focus will be on ‘the hunt’ for exoplanets orbiting nearby stars, especially in the so-called habitable zone where evidence suggests that, due to the potential presence of liquid water, there are greater opportunities to find some form of life. Another objective of this research line is to understand the formation of planets, their evolution, and the conditions for life, both within and outside the Solar System.
