AU Mic will be a target for #NASAWebb! Our coronagraph will block out the light of the central star to allow detection of faint objects nearby. Goal: search for giant planets 10 AU or more from the star. Webb will also be able to detect the vast disk of dust orbiting AU Mic.https://twitter.com/NASAExoplanets/status/1284505820994998273 …
As the TESS spacecraft
enters its third year of observations, it's taking a new look at a familiar system this month. And today it won't be alone. Astronomers are looking at AU Microscopii, a young nearby star, with the TESS, NICER and Swift observatories. pic.twitter.com/RFpSyQtTPe
