Exoplanets in reflected starlight with dual-field interferometry and a fifth Unit Telescope at VLTI
Óscar Carrión-González, Sylvestre Lacour, Mathias Nowak
In this white paper, we propose an upgrade to the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) consisting of the addition of a new 8m Unit Telescope (UT5). The primary goal of this u…
Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). X. Detectability of currently known exoplanets and synergies with future IR/O/UV reflected-starlight imaging missions
Óscar Carrión-González, Jens Kammerer, Daniel Angerhausen +10
The next generation of space-based observatories will characterize the atmospheres of low-mass, temperate exoplanets with the direct-imaging technique. This will be a major step fo…
Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): III. Spectral resolution, wavelength range and sensitivity requirements based on atmospheric retrieval analyses of an exo-Earth
B. S. Konrad, E. Alei, D. Angerhausen +9
Temperate terrestrial exoplanets are likely common objects, but their discovery and characterization is very challenging. Concepts for optimized space missions to overcome these ch…
Constraining the radius and atmospheric properties of directly imaged exoplanets through multi-phase observations
Óscar Carrión-González, Antonio García Muñoz, Nuno C. Santos +3
The theory of remote sensing shows that observing a planet at multiple phase angles () is a powerful strategy to characterize its atmosphere. Here, we analyse how the informatio…
Catalogue of exoplanets accessible in reflected starlight to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. A population study and prospects for phase-curve measurements
Óscar Carrión-González, Antonio García Muñoz, Juan Cabrera +3
Reflected starlight measurements will open a new path in the characterization of directly imaged exoplanets. However, we still lack a population study of known targets amenable to…
Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): I. Improved exoplanet detection yield estimates for a large mid-infrared space-interferometer mission
S. P. Quanz, M. Ottiger, E. Fontanet +68
One of the long-term goals of exoplanet science is the atmospheric characterization of dozens of small exoplanets in order to understand their diversity and search for habitable wo…
