Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets using a 1.5-m coronagraphic space telescope
(EDP Sciences S.A., 2012-05)
High-contrast imaging is currently the only available technique for the study of the thermodynamical and compositional properties of exoplanets in long-period orbits, comparable to the range from Venus to Jupiter. The ...
Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets with a 1.5-m space coronagraph
(Amsterdam Netherlands: SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2012)
Several small space coronagraphs have been proposed to characterize cold exoplanets in reflected light. Studies have mainly focused on technical feasibility because of the huge star/planet flux ratio to achieve in the ...
