Alexandre Correia

Alexandre Correia is a Portuguese astrophysicist affiliated with the University of Coimbra and the Paris Observatory. He recently gained attention for his pivotal role in the discovery of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b, which has an unusual orbital trajectory perpendicular to that of its two host brown dwarf stars. This groundbreaking finding challenges existing theories of planetary formation and was published in the journal Science Advances, highlighting Correia's contributions to understanding the stability of the system and the underlying physical equations governing the motion of celestial bodies.
