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…
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…
Observations and Implications of the Star Formation History of the LMC
J. A. Holtzman, J. S. Gallagher, A. A. Cole +3
We present derivations of star formation histories based on color-magnitude diagrams of three fields in the LMC from HST/WFPC2 observations. A significant component of stars older…
Stellar Populations at the Center of IC 1613
Andrew A. Cole, Eline Tolstoy, John S. Gallagher +18
We have observed the center of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy IC 1613 with WFPC2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope in the F439W, F555W, and F814W filters. We find a dominan…
