The first one is to search for & characterize exo-Earths orbiting in the habitable zones (HZs) of low-mass & very-low mass stars using high-precision radial velocity (RV) measurements (see left figure below). This search expands the exploratory studies carried out with visible instruments (e.g., HARPS/ESO) and focuses in particular on planetary systems of nearby M dwarfs such as the 7-planet system…
