ABOUT ICPEH

The successful landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission in the southern high
latitude region of the Moon has galvanised the country. The scientific community
celebrates it, particularly the planetary scientists in India and abroad. The
curiosity to discover life beyond the Earth-Moon system has led to the discovery
of several exoplanets. This exciting area of exoplanets and exploring
habitability on them and other planetary bodies of our Solar System is gaining
impetus in India and the international arena.

Astronomers at PRL initiated, for the first time in India, a dedicated program
for exoplanet detections using the radial velocity method in 2008. Under this
program, PRL developed a high-resolution stabilised fibexrfed spectrograph under
temperature control and vacuum called PARAS, working at 65000 resolution. PARAS
is attached to the PRL 1.2m telescope at Mt. Abu. PARAS is responsible for some
of the exoplanet detections in 2018 and after that with K2 and TESS candidates.
Subsequently, PRL developed PARAS-2, working at 100,000 resolution for its newly
installed 2.5m telescope at Gurushikhar, Mt. Abu, in October 2022. PARAS-2 is
designed to have sub-1m/s precision radial velocity for small planet detections.

PRL is organising a week-long International Conference on “Planets, Exoplanets
and Habitability.” The proposed conference will have the participation of
experts in planetary sciences, exoplanets, Super-Earths detections and
characterisations, including their atmosphere and habitability. The conference
is a platform to promote networking and benefits early, mid-, and senior career
scientists, researchers, space technology and mission innovators, and
start-ups. This will also be an excellent opportunity for the foreign scientific
community to witness the advancement in Indian science and technology and
research in planetary science and exploration.

Such an international event will impact summarising current knowledge, foster
cross-pollination of understanding and ideas across traditional disciplinary
boundaries, and identify opportunities that shall shape future directions in
planetary research and space exploration in India and at international levels.
