candidates towards the Galactic Bulge, discovered through HST - ESO Very large Telescope, 4 nights in June, 2004 at the 8m telescope, "Radial Velocity spectroscopic observations of SWEEPS Exoplanet Candidates" · Co-founded the PLANET collaboration, where we conducted continuous, 24-hour monitoring of microlensing events using 4 different telescopes at appropriately spaced longitudes for several years from 1995, to look for exoplanets. Some examples: - ESO Danish 1.5m Telescope, 10 nights in August 2007 - Sutherland Observatory, 2 weeks in July, 2006 at the 1m telescope, (As a support astronomer at different observatories, I had numerous observing runs with ground-based optical telescopes, which are not listed here.) Outreach Activities Some of our scientific results (9 of which are published in Nature) have generated considerable interest in the media, a few recent examples of which are listed below. · Our recent results on "Microlensing Events by Proxima Centauri in 2014 and 2016: Opportunities for Mass Determination and Possible Planet Detection" (Sahu et al. ApJ, 782, 89, 2014) were featured in: - A STScI press release (STScI-2013-22): "Rare Stellar Alignment Offers Opportunity to Hunt for Planets" - A press event at the AAS meeting #222, held at Indianapolis in June 2013 - Articles in several popular science magazines including Sky & Telescope, and the online version of Scientific American · Our recent results on detection of planets through Microlensing (Cassan et al. 2012) generated: - A STScI press release (STScI-2012-07): "The Milky Way Contains at Least 100 Billion Planets According to Survey" - Several hundred articles in international newspapers · Our discovery of 16 exoplanet candidates towards the Galactic bulge through HST observations of the SWEEPS field was reported as an article in Nature (Sahu et al. 2006). Based on this result, there was a NASA Science Update (NSU) on October 4, 2006, titled "Hubble Finds Extrasolar Planets Far Across Galaxy" (with Jennifer Wiseman of NASA Headquarters as the moderator, and Mario Livio and Alan Boss as the other co-panelists.) The result announced in this NSU: - Generated articles in >1,000 newspapers and magazines (as per the list produced by the STScI OPO division) all over the world in English language alone. It also appeared in Spanish, Dutch, French, Polish, German, Hindi, Oriya, and many other language newspapers. - Highlighted the SWEEPS image which was voted "the picture of the week" in Time magazine. - Was rated by Astronomy magazine as one of the top 10 astronomical results of 2006.
