Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST): Characterizing Habitable Worlds
M. Postman, W. Traub, J. Krist +8
The Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) is a set of mission concepts for the next generation UV-Optical-Near Infrared space telescope with an aperture size…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Comparison of optical observational capabilities for the coming decades: ground versus space
Matt Mountain, Roeland van der Marel, Remi Soummer +7
Ground-based adaptive optics (AO) in the infrared has made exceptional advances in approaching space-like image quality at higher collecting area. Optical-wavelength applications a…
An Intensive HST Survey for z>1 Supernovae by Targeting Galaxy Clusters
K. S. Dawson, G. Aldering, R. Amanullah +57
We present a new survey strategy to discover and study high redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). By targeting massive galaxy clusters at 0.9…
Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST): A Technology Roadmap for the Next Decade
Marc Postman, Vic Argabright, Bill Arnold +65
The Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) is a set of mission concepts for the next generation of UVOIR space observatory with a primary aperture diameter in…
The History of Star Formation in Galaxies
Thomas M. Brown, Marc Postman, Daniela Calzetti
If we are to develop a comprehensive and predictive theory of galaxy formation and evolution, it is essential that we obtain an accurate assessment of how and when galaxies assembl…
