Characterising Extrasolar Planets in Reflected Light and Thermal Emission
Jean Schneider
The physical bases of the detection and characterisation of extrasolar planets in the reflected light and thermal emission regimes are reviewed. They both have their advantages and…
High Angular Resolution and Extrasolar Planets: Beyond Basic Instrumental Performances
Jean Schneider
I review the characteristics of planetary systems accessible to imaging. I show that, beyond the basic angular resolution and dynamics performances of an optical ``architecture'',…
A search for Jovian-mass planets around CM Draconis using eclipse minima timing
H. J. Deeg, L. R. Doyle, V. P. Kozhevnikov +3
For the eclipsing binary system CM Draconis, eclipse minimum times have been monitored with high precision between 1994 and 1999. Periodic deviations of minimum times from a linear…
Time and the Mind/Body Problem: A Quantum Perspective
Jean Schneider
The Semiotic Interpretation (SI) of QM pushes further the Von Neumann point of view that `experience only makes statements of this type: an observer has made a certain observation;…
Strategies for the search of life in the universe
Jean Schneider
The discovery of an increasing number of Jupiter-like planets in orbit around other stars (or extra-solar planets) is a promising first step toward the search for Life in the Unive…
