ESO User Support and Observation Preparation for VLTI Science Operations
M. Wittkowski, G. Beccari, A. Corporaal +15
We present recent enhancements to VLTI observing capabilities from a user-oriented perspective, together with new developments in ESO's Observation Handling Tools and end-to-end op…
ngVLTI: Cost and Feasibility of a Four-Telescope VLTI Expansion for Milliarcsecond-Scale Imaging
Sylvestre Lacour, Johan Kosmalski, Michael Mueller +8
We assess the cost and technical feasibility of extending the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) through the addition of four 8 m-class Unit Telescopes (UTs), an upgrade we…
A preliminary exploration of the effects of baseline length for the LIFE space mission
Jonah T. Hansen, Thomas Birbacher, Felix A. Dannert +7
By aiming to find and characterise dozens of habitable exoplanets through the technique of nulling interferometry, the LIFE space mission will produce transformational science. One…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems. VII. Molecular Mapping Performance with JWST/MIRI MRS: VHS 1256 b as a case study
Mathilde Mâlin, Anthony Boccaletti, Benjamin Charnay +29
VHS 1256 b was the first planetary-mass companion to be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (JWST/MIRI) using the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer…
Continuing to Advance European High Contrast Imaging Research and Development towards HWO and LIFE
Gael Chauvin, Oscar Carrion Gonzalez, Iva Laginja +20
The European Research and Development for Space based High Contrast Imaging II Workshop, held at MPIA in May 2025, advanced Europe strategic coordination in support of future exopl…
Exoplanet atmospheres and demographics in the 2040s
Jens Kammerer, Sydney Vach, Sylvestre Lacour +7
Direct observations of exoplanets probe the demographics and atmospheric composition of young self-luminous companions, yielding insight into their formation and early evolution hi…
Bridging stellar evolution and planet formation: from birth, to survivors of the fittest, to the second generation of planets
Akke Corporaal, Toon De Prins, Léa Planquart +10
Stars and planets form, live, and evolve in unison. Throughout the life of a star, dusty circumstellar discs and stellar outflows influence the further evolution of both the star(s…
Hunting exomoons with a kilometric baseline interferometer
Thomas O. Winterhalder, Antoine Mérand, Sylvestre Lacour +3
Despite numerous search campaigns based on a diverse set of observational techniques, exomoons - prospective satellites of extrasolar planets - remain an elusive and hard-to-pin-do…
Detecting Atmospheric CO2 Trends as Population-Level Signatures for Long-Term Stable Water Oceans and Biotic Activity on Temperate Terrestrial Exoplanets
Janina Hansen, Daniel Angerhausen, Sascha P. Quanz +6
Identifying key observables is essential for enhancing our knowledge of exoplanet habitability and biospheres, as well as improving future mission capabilities. While currently cha…
Photobombing for the Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). A new criterion for target confusion and application to a MIR rotating nulling interferometer
Drinor Cacaj, Daniel Angerhausen, Prabal Saxena +4
One of the primary objectives in modern astronomy is to discover and study planets with characteristics similar to Earth. This pursuit involves analyzing the spectra of exoplanets…
Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). XIV. Finding terrestrial protoplanets in the galactic neighborhood
Lorenzo Cesario, Tim Lichtenberg, Eleonora Alei +62
The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization to distances from th…
Bioverse: GMT and ELT Direct Imaging and High-Resolution Spectroscopy Assessment $\unicode{x2013}$ Surveying Exo-Earth O and Testing the Habitable Zone Oxygen Hypothesis
Kevin K. Hardegree-Ullman, Dániel Apai, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +4
Biosignature detection in the atmospheres of Earth-like exoplanets is one of the most significant and ambitious goals for astronomy, astrobiology, and humanity. Molecular oxygen is…
Atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets in the mid-infrared: biosignatures, habitability & diversity
Sascha P. Quanz, Olivier Absil, Daniel Angerhausen +45
Exoplanet science is one of the most thriving fields of modern astrophysics. A major goal is the atmospheric characterization of dozens of small, terrestrial exoplanets in order to…
