"Direct imaging" refers to the process of capturing pictures or photographs of objects without any obstruction or interference.
Full definition
This result is very important because it is the first time that two different components of gas emitting lines due to the same ion have distinguished
by direct imaging.
There are some proposed telescopes that would help with that, but the more immediate future is
direct imaging from the ground.
Project Blue's partner Dr. Supriya Chakrabarti leads a research group based at UMass - Lowell since 2012 that develops instrumentation for
direct imaging of exoplanets, among others.
«This star is a not a good candidate
for direct imaging of planets, but it demonstrates what LBTI is good for: We are figuring out the architecture of planetary systems in a way that has not been done before.»
I will discuss in particular the constraints on the distributions of wide giant exoplanets placed by the current generation of
direct imaging surveys.

direct imaging techniques to isolate planet signal from the bright stellar glare.
I will discuss how these findings can be used to constrain models of planet formation and how they may be used to optimize planet searches with future
direct imaging missions, such as HabEx and LUVOIR.
The Grenoble group I visited is one of the world leaders
in direct imaging of extrasolar planets: over the past decades Jean - Luc Beuzit and his group have developed more and more sophisticated instruments to enhance the sharpness of the images that can be obtained with the largest telescopes.
This page provides the final SAG15 report status reports and documents in support of the development of the EXOPAG Study Analysis Group 15: Science Goals for
Future Direct Imaging Missions.
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.
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).
Unfortunately, it is beginning to look more and more likely that precision RV measurements will be unable to resolve the issue for a variety of reasons and we will have to wait for space - based instruments capable of performing
direct imaging searches that will (hopefully) be launched within the next decade or so.
Finally, we find that the bright arc of scattered light we see in
direct imaging observations originates from the near side of the disk, and appears brighter than the far side because of strong forward scattering.
In a group of animals in which tiny implanted windows
allowed direct imaging of brain tissue, the progression of A-beta plaque deposition was fastest in animals receiving APOE4 and slowest, sometimes even appearing to regress, in mice injected with APOE2.
Abstract: The ability to characterize exoplanets by spectroscopy of their atmospheres
requires direct imaging techniques to isolate planet signal from the bright stellar glare.
Additional
direct imaging results were provided by the Gemini Deep Planet Survey (GDPS) out of the Gemini North Observatory in Hawai'i and the Planets Around Low - Mass Stars survey (PALMS) out of Caltech.
The current findings represent the first experimentally
recorded direct imaging of predicted correlations between magnetic spin structure and wall velocity.
We think that in the end, the biomarkers are going to be something like a visual field test or
perhaps direct imaging of the OFF cells in the inner retina.
I will present an overview of our
current direct imaging search for planets in the nearby binary - rich Scorpius - Centaurus association, as well as our discovery of one of the first directly imaged planets, Scorpion - 1b, in a hierarchical triple system.

More Direct imaging has led to the discovery of several giant planet and brown dwarf companions.
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.
The improvement in image contrast (and dynamic range) with coronagraphy and TGM is still substantial
over direct imaging.
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.
High - resolution observations are presented based
on direct imaging, two - dimensional spectropolarimetry with Fabry - Pérot interferometers, and scanning long - slit spectrographs to introduce some of the science cases for high - resolution solar physics: (1) statistical properties of flows in and around pores and sunspots, (2) chromospheric dynamics associated with newly emerging flux, and (3) flare diagnostics from near - infrared spectropolarimetry.
Their high mass leads to easier radial velocity and microlensing observations, and their large size and young warmer temperatures lead to easier transiting and
direct imaging detections.
SPHERE's primary task is to discover and study giant exoplanets orbiting nearby stars
using direct imaging.
Though only a handful of extrasolar planets have been discovered
via direct imaging, each of these discoveries had tremendous impact on our understanding of planetary formation, stellar formation and cool atmosphere physics.
Many planets that have been found
through direct imaging have been in systems that had debris disks, and now we know the dust could be indicators of undiscovered worlds.»
However, nearby M - dwarfs are becoming the most extensive targets for habitable planet searches because they are the most abundant nearby stars and thus could be the first candidate for detecting any biosignatures on exoplanets via transit or
direct imaging observations in near future.
Exozodiacal dust emission, even at low levels, makes it significantly harder to detect Earth - like planets
with direct imaging.
