Leadership and Management skills

Inspired by the work of Stephen Covey, great masters such as Mas Oyama and Gichin Funakoshi and the Zen popular literature, I have tried to exercise two main ideas in my doings: i) a servant leadership where my actions are emphatic and kind in nature and aimed to empower and give voice to those around me unleashing their potential to the mutual benefit of the Organization and the people working on it; and ii) strive to demonstrate initiative in all things and never fear action. Below, three examples of servant leadership and continued effort are given:

• In recognizing the scientific, technological and political opportunity, I have invested a considerable amount of effort in making the idea of the near-infra red spectrograph to become a reality (the so-called NIRPS project). Since 2014, I have been working from gathering the team around our the response to the Letter of Intent; then going through the submission and approval of the proposal; working to find agreements within the team and with ESO to make it feasible and beneficial to all parties; I’m now fully committed to make it to come true.

4 • Since 2013, I have been working close to many stakeholders to promote the Brazilian ratification to the ESO membership. This requires a considerable amount of energy in interfacing with the Brazilian astronomical community, society, Brazilian government and ESO upper management.

• By request of the Department Head in 2012, I had the chance the crystalize this philosophy in the implementation of the project structure used in the Science Operations Department of the Paranal Observatory (SCI-PROJ) where every staff has room to exercise her creativity to the benefit of the observatory and her own personal fulfillment.

As Head of the Office for Science, I am constantly coaching students, fellows and junior staff in scientific and technical matters, but also in pushing them to develop and adopt a servant and resilient spirit towards their colleagues, working environment and life in general.

Co-PI of the Near InfraRed Planet Searcher (NIRPS)

After almost 20 years of an extraordinary development, the field of extrasolar planets is heading to revolutionize mankind by answering one of the most enduring questions we have ever asked: are we alone in the universe? To answer to that question we need to find habitable planets and be able to study their atmospheres. An armada of space missions is scheduled to fly during the next decade starting with the lunch of the JWST (2018) together with TESS (NASA, 2017/2018), CHEOPS (ESA 2018), and later PLATO (ESA, 2024). Ground based precise spectroscopic measurements collected from the ground are essential to characterize those planets. NIRPS will be mounted on the 3.6-m acquiring simultaneous observations with HARPS with a precision better than 1m/s. Together NIRPS+HARPS will make a unique powerful high-resolution precise spectrograph covering from 0.4 to 1.8 microns. NIRPS+HARPS will open up the path to look for habitable planets around M-type stars by following up the candidates found by the upcoming space missions. It will validate earth-like planets found around G and K-type stars whose signal is at the same order of magnitude than the stellar noise. Thanks to its high-resolution (100,000) and wide wavelength range, NIRPS+HARPS will be very competitive in the detection of reflected light and transmission spectroscopy studies.

The NIRPS consortium is composed by Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, Portugal and Spain. The co-PIs are Claudio Melo (ESO/Brazil), Francois Bouchy (Switzerland) and Rene Doyon (Canada). The project is at the PDR stage. First light panned for second half of 2019.

RV content in near IR

Giving the considerable lower stellar noise and the wealth of molecular information, the future of the search and characterization of extrasolar planets requires precise high-resolution measurements acquired in the NIR likely with simultaneous optical spectroscopic observations. In the recent years, along with collaborators of the Institute of Astronomy (Porto), I have been involved in pioneering the extraction of RV in H and K-band. Pilot works

• Radial velocities with CRIRES. Pushing precision down to 5-10 m/s, Figueira P., Pepe F., Melo C. H. F., Santos N. C., Lovis C., Mayor M., Queloz D., Smette A., Udry S., A&A 2010, A55 (40 citations)

Pioneer work on transit planets

The first photometric survey to yield a large number of planetary transit candidates was the OGLE survey. Due to the faintness of the candidates, FLAMES/UVES@VLT was the only instrument able to follow-up and confirm the planetary nature of those candidates. As a science fellow and then as a staff astronomer I have contributed to develop and add modifications to FLAMES/UVES pipeline and its

8 calibration plan needed for the survey. The results were published in several papers. Two are highlighted below:

• Doppler follow-up of OGLE planetary transit candidates in , Pont F., Bouchy F., Melo C., Santos N. C., Mayor M., Queloz D., Udry S., A&A 2005, 1123 (90 citations)

• Doppler follow-up of OGLE transiting companions in the Galactic bulge, Bouchy F., Pont F., Melo C., Santos N. C., Mayor M., Queloz D., Udry S., A&A 2005, 1105 (124 citations)

Young Nearby Associations

Towards the end of my Ph.D. in 2002, I joined the Searching for Association Containing Young (SACY) survey, a massive survey aiming at identifying the young nearby association near the Sun. I gave a key contribution driving the collaboration from its first data acquisition period to the first publications and driving a large number of observing proposal necessary to complete the survey and to carry out specific follow-up studies (search for visual companion, debris disks, orbital parameters, etc).

The core of the survey was published in two key papers:

• Search for associations containing young stars (SACY). I. Sample and searching method, Torres C. A. O., Quast G. R., da Silva L., de La Reza R., Melo C. H. F., Sterzik M., A&A 2006, 695 (275 citations)

• Young Nearby Loose Associations, Torres C. A. O., Quast G. R., Melo C. H. F., Sterzik M. F., Handbook of Star Forming Regions, Volume II: The Southern Sky ASP Monograph Publications, Vol. 5. Edited by Bo Reipurth, p.757 (182 citations)

Two Ph.D. students (Pedro Almeida and Paul Elliott) defended thesis on aspects related to the SACY
