May 30, 2019 · It was March 1988, and astronomer David Latham was working into the night, puzzling over an odd result from an experimental instrument at Harvard’s Oak Ridge Observatory in Massachusetts. At the time, planets around other stars were an unproven – if thrilling – idea.
David Latham. Lecturer / Senior Astronomer at SAO. Research. Exoplanets have been my main research interest in recent years, initially with a focus on the detection of candidate planets, both with radial-velocity surveys and with space missions such as Kepler and TESS.
I am a senior astronomer at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have been working on the search for planets orbiting nearby stars since 1984, with a recent focus (since 1999) on transiting planets. I also have a joint appointment at Harvard and have taught thousands of students.
Oct 30, 2013 · Kepler-78b is a planet that shouldn’t exist. “This planet is a complete mystery,” said astronomer David Latham of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). “We don’t know how it formed or how it got to where it is today. What we do know is that it’s not going to last forever.”

Senior Astronomer. Searches for and characterization of extrasolar planets; the formation and early history of the Milky Way Galaxy; the frequency and orbital characteristics of binaries in various stellar populations. Background And Education.
I am an observational astronomer. I have spent many nights using telescopes to study stars and to measure the masses of planets that orbit them. These days I work with space telescopes such as Kepler, K2, and TESS to measure the sizes of transiting planets.
