Title: The SPICE and SLS Large Programs with SPIRou at CFHT

Presenter: Jean-francois Donati

Abstract:

Aimed at detecting and characterizing Earth-like exoplanets around nearby M dwarfs, and at studying the impact of magnetic fields in the early life of low-mass stars and their planets, the SPIRou Legacy Survey (SLS) and SPICE Large Programs were allocated 484 CFHT nights altogether from 2019A to 2024A. In this talk, we will review the numerous key results achieved on both scientific fronts, with 50 papers already published in the refereed literature and many more to come.
