Direct Multipixel Imaging and Spectroscopy of an Exoplanet with a Solar Gravity Lens Mission
Slava G. Turyshev, Michael Shao, Viktor T. Toth +15
We examined the solar gravitational lens (SGL) as the means to produce direct high-resolution, multipixel images of exoplanets. The properties of the SGL are remarkable: it offers…
Synthetic tracking using ZTF Long Dwell Datasets
Chengxing Zhai, Quanzhi Ye, Michael Shao +4
The Zwicky Transit Factory (ZTF) is a powerful time domain survey facility with a large field of view. We apply the synthetic tracking technique to integrate a ZTF's long-dwell dat…
Recognizing the Value of the Solar Gravitational Lens for Direct Multipixel Imaging and Spectroscopy of an Exoplanet
Slava G. Turyshev, Michael Shao, Janice Shen +18
The Solar Gravitational Lens (SGL) allows for major brightness amplification ( at wavelength of m) and extreme angular resolution ( arcsec) within…
Direct Multipixel Imaging and Spectroscopy of an Exoplanet with a Solar Gravity Lens Mission
Slava G. Turyshev, Michael Shao, Leon Alkalai +17
The remarkable optical properties of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) include major brightness amplification (~1e11 at wavelength of 1 um) and extreme angular resolution (~1e-10…
