Diversity among other worlds: characterization of exoplanets by direct detection
J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, A. Aylward +34
The physical characterization of exoplanets will require to take spectra at several orbital positions. For that purpose, a direct imaging capability is necessary. Direct imaging re…
Super Earth Explorer: A Coronagraphic Off-Axis Space Telescope
J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, D. Mawet +12
The Super-Earth Explorer is an Off-Axis Space Telescope (SEE-COAST) designed for high contrast imaging. Its scientific objective is to make the physico-chemical characterization of…
Design, analysis and test of a microdots apodizer for the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph
P. Martinez, C. Dorrer, E. Aller Carpentier +4
Coronagraphic techniques are required to detect exoplanets with future Extremely Large Telescopes. One concept, the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC), is combining an apodizer…
Comparison of coronagraphs for high contrast imaging in the context of Extremely Large Telescopes
P. Martinez, A. Boccaletti, M. Kasper +4
We compare coronagraph concepts and investigate their behavior and suitability for planet finder projects with Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs, 30-42 meters class telescopes). For…
Using SPICA Space Telescope to characterize Exoplanets
J. R. Goicoechea, B. Swinyard, G. Tinetti +26
We present the 3.5m SPICA space telescope, a proposed Japanese-led JAXA-ESA mission scheduled for launch around 2017. The actively cooled (<5 K), single aperture telescope and mono…
Theory and laboratory tests of the multi-stage phase mask coronagraph
P. Baudoz, R. Galicher, J. Baudrand +1
A large number of coronagraphs have been proposed to overcome the ratio that exists between the star and its planet. The planet finder of the Extremely Large Telescope, which is ca…
