Career and research
Aigrain was a
She has expressed her concerns about the detection of planets using the radial velocity method to detect exoplanets; such as instrumental precision, stellar activity, patchy observations and limitations of other models.[12] She was part of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) discovery of the Earth sized planet close to Alpha Centauri Bb,[13] but played an even closer role in the study that disproved the planet's existence in 2016.[14]
Aigrain and her group use
In 2019 Algrain was awarded a European Research Council Consolidator Grant to study exoplanets.[19]
Aigrain is interested in public engagement and regularly delivers popular science lectures.[10][20][21][22] She spoke about exoplanets on In Our Time in 2013.,[23] and has taken part in Pint of Science.[24] In 2018 she spoke at the Oxford Playhouse, accompanying the play One Small Step.[25] In November 2018 she was part of the Kings Place Bach, the Universe and Everything performance.[26] She is a member of the International Astronomical Union.[27] She writes non-fiction with Philippe Aigrain, as well as writing her own poetry.[28][29][30]
