Hunting Exomoons With a Kilometric Baseline Interferometer
Introduction: The Quest for Exomoons Exomoons — moons orbiting planets outside our solar system — represent a compelling frontier in astronomy. Despite decades of search campaigns using transit timing variations, direct imaging, and radial velocity techniques, confirmed exomoons remain elusive. The potential discovery of exomoons would deepen our understanding of planet formation, satellite dynamics, and…

Hunting Exomoons with a Kilometric Baseline Interferometer: A New Frontier in Exoplanetary Science
Introduction: Why Exomoons Matter From the bustling catalogs of exoplanets to the quiet curiosity about distant moons, astronomers have long sought to understand where planetary systems truly thrive. Exomoons — natural satellites orbiting planets outside our solar system — represent a crucial piece of that puzzle. They influence planetary formation, climate stability, and potential habitability.…
