Asgard/NOTT: L-band nulling interferometry at the VLTI I. Simulating the expected high-contrast performance

Romain Laugier, Denis Defrère, Benjamin Courtney-Barrer +13

Context: NOTT (formerly Hi-5) is a new high-contrast L' band (3.5-4.0 \textmu m) beam combiner for the VLTI with the ambitious goal to be sensitive to young giant exoplanets down t…

Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): VIII. Where is the phosphine? Observing exoplanetary PH3 with a space based MIR nulling interferometer

D. Angerhausen, M. Ottiger, F. Dannert +9

Phosphine could be a key molecule in the understanding of exotic chemistry happening in (exo)planetary atmospheres. While it has been detected in the Solar System's giant planets,…

L 363-38 b: a planet newly discovered with ESPRESSO orbiting a nearby M dwarf star

Lia F. Sartori, Christophe Lovis, Jean-Baptiste Delisle +7

Context. Planets around stars in the solar neighbourhood will be prime targets for characterisation with upcoming large space- and ground-based facilities. Since large-scale exopla…

Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): VI. Detecting rocky exoplanets in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars

Jens Kammerer, Sascha P. Quanz, Felix Dannert +1

While previous studies have shown a strong preference for a future mid-infrared nulling interferometer space mission to detect planets within the HZ around M dwarfs, we here focus…
