An international team, including University of Geneva researchers, discovered a super-Earth named TOI-512 b orbiting a star cooler than our Sun. The high-precision ESPRESSO spectrograph made this possible. The planet’s density is similar to Earth’s, at 1.02 times. Astronomers detect exoplanets using two methods: the transit method and radial velocity. The transit method observes a star’s light dimming as a planet passes in front, while radial velocity tracks changes in a star’s movement caused by a planet. Transit is faster and more efficient, as it can observe thousands of stars simultaneously, unlike radial velocity, which examines stars individually.
