The MARVEL exoplanet facility

该项目旨在为耗资600万美元的新漫威系外行星设施提供关键部件，以换取澳大利亚研究人员完全进入该设施。漫威是一个机器人望远镜阵列和尖端光谱仪，位于世界上最好的地点之一。漫威致力于从TESS和柏拉图太空任务中收集关于岩石系外行星候选者的关键数据。结果包括找到最近的类地系外行星，获得对其恒星系统的详细了解，以及根据大气生物标志物确定适合未来搜索生命的目标。该项目确保了澳大利亚在系外行星科学方面的领先地位，这是天文学中最令人兴奋的努力之一。

This project aims to deliver critical parts for the new $6M international MARVEL exoplanet facility, in exchange for full access of Australian researchers to the facility. MARVEL is a robotic telescope array and cutting edge spectrograph at one of the best sites in the world. MARVEL is dedicated to collecting critical data on rocky exoplanet candidates from the TESS and PLATO space missions. Outcomes include finding the nearest terrestrial exoplanets, gaining a detailed understanding of their stellar systems, and identifying targets suitable for future searches for life based on atmospheric biomarkers. This project ensures a leading role for Australia in exoplanet science, one of the most exciting endeavours in astronomy.
