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…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
Towards a Small Prototype Planet Finding Interferometer: The next step in planet finding and characterization in the infrared
W. C. Danchi, D. Deming, K. G. Carpenter +9
During the last few years, considerable effort has been directed towards large-scale (>> $1 Billion US) missions to detect and characterize earth-like planets around nearby stars,…
Interferometric Observations of the Nuclear Region of Arp220 at Submillimeter Wavelengths
M. C. Wiedner, C. D. Wilson, A. Harrison +3
We report the first submillimeter interferometric observations of an ultraluminous infrared galaxy. We observed Arp220 in the CO J=3-2 line and 342GHz continuum with the single bas…
Observations of YSO Circumstellar Discs
D. Ward-Thompson, P. Andre, O. P. Lay
We present the results of short baseline interferometry observations at submillimetre wavelengths, using a two-element interferometer comprising the JCMT and CSO, of circumstellar…
The Impact of Atmospheric Fluctuations on Degree-scale Imaging of the Cosmic Microwave Background
Oliver P. Lay, Nils W. Halverson
Fluctuations in the brightness of the Earth's atmosphere originating from water vapor are an important source of noise for ground-based instruments attempting to measure anisotropy…
