Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST): Characterizing Habitable Worlds
M. Postman, W. Traub, J. Krist +8
The Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) is a set of mission concepts for the next generation UV-Optical-Near Infrared space telescope with an aperture size…
Panchromatic observations and modeling of the HV Tau C edge-on disk
G. Duchene, C. McCabe, C. Pinte +12
We present new high spatial resolution (<~ 0.1") 1-5 micron adaptive optics images, interferometric 1.3 mm continuum and 12CO 2-1 maps, and 350 micron, 2.8 and 3.3 mm fluxes measur…
Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C) Flight Baseline Concept
Marie Levine, D. Lisman, S. Shaklan +52
The Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C) mission presented here is an existence proof for a flagship-class internal coronagraph space mission capable of detecting and char…
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…
Explorations Beyond the Snow Line: Spitzer/IRS Spectra of Debris Disks Around Solar-Type Stars
S. M. Lawler, C. A. Beichman, G. Bryden +6
We have observed 152 nearby solar-type stars with the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Including stars that met our criteria but were observed in other s…
The circumstellar disc in the Bok globule CB 26: Multi-wavelength observations and modelling of the dust disc and envelope
J. Sauter, S. Wolf, R. Launhardt +10
Circumstellar discs are expected to be the nursery of planets. Grain growth within such discs is the first step in the planet formation process. The Bok globule CB 26 harbours such…
