First Steps in Direct Imaging of Planetary Systems Like our Own: The Science Potential of 2-m Class Optical Space Telescopes
Karl Stapelfeldt, John Trauger, Weslay Traub +4
We summarize the scientific potential of high contrast optical space imaging for studies of extrasolar planets, debris disks, and planet formation. The unique scientific capabiliti…
TrES-2: The First Transiting Planet in the Kepler Field
Francis T. O'Donovan, David Charbonneau, Georgi Mandushev +17
We announce the discovery of the second transiting hot Jupiter discovered by the Trans-atlantic Exoplanet Survey. The planet, which we dub TrES-2, orbits the nearby star GSC 03549-…
Speckle nulling for exoplanet detection with space-based coronagraphic telescopes
Pascal J. Borde, Wesley A. Traub, Brian D. Kern +2
To detect Earth-like planets in the visible with a coronagraphic telescope, two major noise sources have to be overcome: the photon noise of the diffracted star light, and the spec…
