    All Trinity members – Fellows, Past Fellows, students, alumni very welcome

    On Friday 6 November 2020 at 7pm we will meet in central Tokyo.

    Professor Didier Queloz, the most recent Trinity Fellow to be awarded the Nobel Prize, has very generously agreed to hold a video discussion with us.

    Didier is astronomer, and has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2019 for “the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star”

    If you like to ask Professor Didier Queloz questions during our video discussions, best would be if you prepare the questions beforehand, so I can moderate the discussion to make the best use of Didier’s time.

    This and our other discussions are published on Trinity in Japan’s YouTube channel

      Physics Nobel Prize 2019 for Trinity Fellow Didier Queloz

      Trinity Fellow Didier Queloz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2019 “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star”

      Didier Queloz worked with his PhD supervisor Michel Mayor – who shares the 2019 Physics Nobel Prize with Didier Queloz and Jim Peebles. Mayor had developed the COREVAL photoelectric Doppler spectrometer to measure radial velocities of stars and planets. Together they developed the improved ELODIE Doppler spectrometer, with which they discovered the exoplanet named 51 Pegasi b orbiting 51 Pegasi. As of April 2020 around 4241 exoplanets have been discovered.
