Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek
Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94
The paper reports the direct imaging discovery of a third giant exoplanet, β Pictoris d, using VLT/ERIS and archival JWST/NIRCam and VLT/SPHERE data, and characterizes its orbit, t…
Exploring Exoplanets with Interferometry
Sascha P. Quanz, Bertrand Mennesson, Charles Beichman +27
(Extract from the Executive Summary) Humanity stands at the threshold of answering one of its most profound questions: Does life exist beyond Earth? Ongoing and upcoming space miss…
A preliminary exploration of the effects of baseline length for the LIFE space mission
Jonah T. Hansen, Thomas Birbacher, Felix A. Dannert +7
By aiming to find and characterise dozens of habitable exoplanets through the technique of nulling interferometry, the LIFE space mission will produce transformational science. One…
The Nulling Interferometry Cryogenic Experiment (NICE): Architecture, requirements, and preliminary warm precursor results
Thomas Birbacher, Jonah T. Hansen, Felix A. Dannert +6
The success of the Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) space mission depends on measuring the faint mid-infrared emission spectra of exoplanets while suppressing the glare o…
The VLT/ERIS grating vector Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraph
M. A. Kenworthy, F. A. Dannert, J. Hayoz +29
We describe the design, laboratory manufacture, and on-sky testing of the grating vector apodizing phase plate (gvAPP) coronagraph for the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrogra…
Robust Data Interpretation for Perturbed Nulling Interferometers via Proper Handling of Correlated Errors
Philipp A. Huber, Felix A. Dannert, Romain Laugier +4
The detection and atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable, temperate terrestrial exoplanets using a space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometer is a major goal of…
