SPICES: spectro-polarimetric imaging and characterization of exoplanetary systems.
(Experimental Astronomy, 2012-10)SPICES (Spectro-Polarimetric Imaging and Characterization of Exoplanetary Systems) is a five-year M-class mission proposed to ESA Cosmic Vision. Its purpose is to image and characterize long-period extrasolar planets and ... -
Exoplanet Albedo Spectra and Colors as a Function of Planet Phase, Separation, and Metallicity
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2010-11-20)First generation space-based optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas- and ice-giant exoplanets around nearby stars. Exoplanets lying at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU—where an exoplanet ... -
Characterization of a semidiurnal eastward-propagating tide at high northern latitudes with Mars Global Surveyor electron density profiles
(American Geophysical Union, 2007-08-03)Apparent phase velocities of zonal structure, estimated from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) electron density profiles, are used to identify and characterize SE1, the semidiurnal eastward-propagating tide with zonal wave number ...
