Thayne Currie (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan) Extreme Exoplanet Direct Imaging: New Results and the Path to Imaging Another Earth

The GISS exoplanet project in many ways looks forward to the time when NASA has a powerful exoplanet direct imaging telescope in the sky, perhaps in the 2030s, or when the next generation of vastly enlarged ground - based telescopes have been built and commissioned.

Not exact matches

SPHERE's main goal is to find and characterise giant exoplanets orbiting nearby stars by direct imaging [1].

SPHERE's primary task is to discover and study giant exoplanets orbiting nearby stars using direct imaging.

Direct imaging is the most amenable to this (see, for example, Kevin Wagner et al.'s recent work on the exoplanet in the triple - star HD 131399 system).

The study builds on input from the exoplanet community to identify the most interesting science questions that we may be able to study in the future with direct imaging missions — that is, space telescopes that can directly image exoplanets (separating their light from that of their host stars).

While the future for characterization via direct imaging is bright, studying sub-Jovian exoplanets in older systems is still out of reach for today's instruments.

In combinations with other methods of planet detection, direct imaging and spectroscopy will allow us to eventually: 1) fully map out the architecture of typical planetary systems and 2) study the atmospheric properties of exoplanets in depth.

I will discuss in particular the constraints on the distributions of wide giant exoplanets placed by the current generation of direct imaging surveys.

The James Webb Space Telescope will use both transit spectroscopy and direct imaging to determine the make - up of exoplanet systems in our galaxy.

This instrument will be dedicated to the search for exoplanets through the direct imaging techniques, with the new generation extreme adaptive optics.

A promising exoplanet candidate w... ▽ More As is the case for all techniques involved in the research for exoplanets, direct imaging has to take into account the probability of so - called astrophysical false positives, which are phenomena that mimic the signature of objects we are seeking.

Abstract: The ability to characterize exoplanets by spectroscopy of their atmospheres requires direct imaging techniques to isolate planet signal from the bright stellar glare.

By combining our atmospheric characterisation with the age and metallicity constraints arising from the probable membership to the AB Doradus moving group, we find that CFBDSIRJ214947.2 - 040308.9 is probably a 4 - 7 Jupiter masses free - floating planet with an effective temperature of ~ 700K and a log g of ~ 4.0, typical of the late T - type exoplanets that are targeted by direct imaging.

The SAG15 team is charged with studying high - level science questions that can be answered by direct imaging studies of exoplanets and identifying the type and quality of data these studies require.

MAUNA KEA, HAWAII — A team of researchers has discovered and photographed a gas giant only 155 light years from our solar system, adding to the short list of exoplanets discovered through direct imaging.
