We now know that nearly all stars host planets, and exoplanet science is now turning to bright individual systems. This Project aims to study the nearest, brightest stars by extending the capabilities of NASA's TESS telescope and Mount Kent Observatory. This is significant as the best chance we have to detect planets around stars bright enough to measure the planetary and stellar properties precisely. The expected outcomes of this project will be the discovery of planets transiting nearby naked-eye stars, and crucial measurements of the masses of these stars and planets. The benefits of this will be a key sample of new, well-understood benchmark systems, and new open-source algorithms for data analysis in astronomy and more broadly.

我们现在知道，几乎所有恒星托管行星，系外行星科学现在正在转向明亮的单个系统。该项目旨在通过扩展NASA苔丝望远镜和肯特山天文台的功能来研究最近，最亮的恒星。 这是很重要的，因为我们必须最好地检测到足够明亮的恒星周围的行星，以精确地测量行星和恒星特性。该项目的预期结果将是发现在附近裸眼恒星的行星，以及对这些恒星和行星的质量的关键测量。这一点的好处将是新的，富有理解的基准系统的关键示例，以及用于天文学和更广泛的数据分析的新开源算法。
