DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CENTRA/19/">
 A Nobel Prize for the discovery of other worlds</a>\nby Jorge H. C. Martin
 s (Porto U.\, IA) as part of CENTRA Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 2019\, the N
 obel Prize of Physics was awarded "for contributions to our understanding 
 of the evolution of the universe and Earth's place in the cosmos". The pri
 ze was actually shared between two subjects that could not be more distinc
 t: cosmology and exoplanetary science. \n\nIn this presentation\, I will s
 peak about the exoplanetary science half of the prize\, the discovery of a
 n exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. 
 In particular\, I will focus on how this discovery opened the window to a 
 whole new field of astrophysics and drove (and still drives) the developme
 nt of the new generations of ground based instruments and space missions d
 edicated to the discovery and characterization of the planets around stars
  other than the Sun.\n
