Discoveries in the last decades have stimulated the use of interdisciplinary tools to study exoplanets and, naturally, astrobiology. These efforts are helping to understand complex phenomena as, for instance, planetary habitability. Science is trying to answer ancient questions as: Are there planets similar to ours outside the solar system? Is life a common phenomenon in the universe? How…

Exoplanetology, the name currently given to the branch of astronomy that studies planetary systems discovered outside the solar system, has reached maturity mainly thanks to the high precision of the techniques for detecting photometric transits (with satellites) and the determination of radial velocities (atmospheric spectroscopy). from the ground). However, observational biases introduc…
PLATO (Planetary Transits and Oscillations of Stars) is a European space scientific mission with Brazilian participation, dedicated to the search for terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zone of solar-type stars. It is conducted by the European Space Agency (ESA), and the launch is scheduled for 2026.The main flight product of PLATO consists of light curves, which represent the tempora…

Earth has been formed out of material from the proto-planetary disk (PPD) of the primeval solar system. It is reasonable to suppose that pre-biotic compounds were already present in the disk and that they have been incorporated into the planets during their formation. In order to understand the role of organic molecules ion the contamination of regions were life could form, it is mandator…
