An article accepted for publication in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics” reports the discovery of a super-Earth in the system of HD 164922, a star that’s slightly smaller and slightly less massive than the Sun. A team of researchers led by Serena Benatti of the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, Palermo, used the HARPS-N spectrograph installed on the Galileo Telescope, on the Canary Islands, to collect the data which, together with others previously collected with other instruments, allowed to discover the exoplanet designated as HD 164922d. The discoveries of exoplanets are increasingly made thanks to software that performs an automatic analysis of data collected by various telescopes, but in this case it’s the prize for the tenacity of astronomers who put together the data of years of observations conducted with various instruments.
