Dr. Jean-Luc Moreau

The EDP is a research program at Zendar Universe focused on discovering planets orbiting other stars (exoplanets). A key part of the program is to characterize these new worlds, especially those that might be habitable.

This is a technique where scientists analyze the light from a star as it passes through an exoplanet's atmosphere. The chemical elements in the atmosphere absorb specific colors of light, which allows researchers like Dr. Moreau to look for gases like oxygen or methane, which could be signs of life (biosignatures).

Dr. Moreau is a leading expert in finding and analyzing exoplanets. He specializes in developing the sophisticated methods used to search for biosignatures in the atmospheres of Earth-like worlds in distant solar systems.

The program uses methods like transit photometry and radial velocity to find planets. It prioritizes worlds that are in the "habitable zone" of their star, which is the region where temperatures could allow for liquid water to exist on the surface.
