The scenario sounds plausible, says Jessie Christiansen at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. (newscientist.com)
In this paper, we review the performance of these modes in terms of exoplanet science capabilities and describe recent instrumental milestones such as first - light Fizeau images (with the angular resolution of an equivalent 22.8 - m telescope) and deep interferometric nulling observations.
