Abstract

An important scientific goal of our generation is to identify a habitable Earth-like exoplanet. However, there are millions of stars in our neighbourhood and in order to make our search easier we must first identify the stars which are most likely to host an Earth-like habitable planet. In this project I will investigate a sample of stars with dierent stellar properties using both ground and space based telescopes and complex 3D modelling, providing answers to the question What kind of stars are more favourable to develop an Earth-like habitable planet? The results will also help us identifying the correct targets for upcoming space missions such as ARIEL, JWST and PLATO, bringing us a step closer to detecting Earth-like exoplanets around other suns.
