SUMMARY:TOI-2407b: A hot Neptune in the Neptune Desert discovered with the
  SPIRIT Infrared Detector - Clàudia Jano Muñoz (Cavendish)

DESCRIPTION:The discovery and characterization of exoplanets around ultrac
 ool dwarfs require precise ground-based observations across visible and in
 frared wavelengths. In this talk\, I will present the discovery of TOI-240
 7b\, a Neptune-sized planet located in the Neptune desert—a sparsely pop
 ulated region of parameter space for close-in exoplanets. This detection w
 as made using SPIRIT\, a novel infrared CMOS detector designed to enhance 
 sensitivity to cool stars. I will discuss the role of SPIRIT in improving 
 exoplanet transit observations\, the development of its data pipeline\, an
 d the implications of TOI-2407b for our understanding of planet formation 
 and evolution in the Neptune desert.
