Comparison of optical observational capabilities for the coming decades: ground versus space
Matt Mountain, Roeland van der Marel, Remi Soummer +7
Ground-based adaptive optics (AO) in the infrared has made exceptional advances in approaching space-like image quality at higher collecting area. Optical-wavelength applications a…
Discovering and Characterizing the Planetary Systems of Nearby Stars: The scientific need for medium aperture space coronagraph observations
Tom Greene, Kerri Cahoy, Olivier Guyon +7
Significant advances in the discovery and characterization of the planetary systems of nearby stars can be accomplished with a moderate aperture high performance coronagraphic spac…
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…
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…
Theoretical Limits on Extrasolar Terrestrial Planet Detection with Coronagraphs
O. Guyon, E. A. Pluzhnik, M. J. Kuchner +2
Many high contrast coronagraph designs have recently been proposed. In this paper, their suitability for direct imaging of extrasolar terrestrial planets is reviewed. We also devel…
Exoplanet Imaging with a Phase-induced Amplitude Apodization Coronagraph III. Hybrid Approach: Optical Design and Diffraction Analysis
E. A. Pluzhnik, O. Guyon, S. T. Ridgway +4
Properly apodized pupils can deliver point spread functions (PSFs) free of Airy rings, and are suitable for high dynamical range imaging of extrasolar terrestrial planets (ETPs). T…
