Porto NIRPS Science Team Meeting 202617-19 November 2026, Porto, Portugal
The NIRPS Science Team Meeting will take place in Porto, Portugal, from 17 to 19 November 2026, bringing together members of the international NIRPS consortium to discuss recent scientific results, ongoing observing programmes, and future research directions.
NIRPS is a high-resolution near-infrared spectrograph installed on ESO's 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile. Working alongside HARPS, it enables high-precision radial-velocity measurements and supports the discovery and characterisation of exoplanets and their atmospheres, particularly rocky planets orbiting low-mass stars.
The meeting will provide an opportunity to review progress across the NIRPS science programme, covering recent scientific results, ongoing observing programmes, instrument developments, data analysis, and operational aspects. A key objective will be to coordinate future observing efforts and establish priorities for the next stages of the NIRPS science programme.
