OAPa’s main characteristic is its specific vocation in the field of space astrophysics. The network of activities also involves several frontier research fields both at the national and international level.
Planetary climatology under extreme conditions thanks to GIANO-B, HARPS-N and ESPRESSO observations of the hot Jupiter WASP-76b Among the 6007 confirmed exoplanets to date (09/22/2025), there exists a class of planets absent in the Solar System but crucial for studying atmospheric physics under extreme conditions: ultra-hot Jupiters. These are gas giants in very close orbits around their host stars,
