Astrometric detection of rocky exoplanets from inexpensive space platforms
Peter G. Tuthill, George Ayad, Donald G. Dansereau +18
The detection of orbiting exoplanets by way of astrometric monitoring of the host star to reveal gravitationally induced reflex motion requires extreme precision and measurement st…
Upgrading LBTI/NOMIC with a quadruple annular groove phase mask and GeoSnap detector for imaging nearby, habitable-zone exoplanets
Kevin Wagner, Manny Montoya, Steve Ertel +32
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI)'s Nulling-Optimized Mid-Infrared Camera (NOMIC) is among the most capable thermal-infrared imaging systems available for high-co…
Searching for Extraterrestrial Intelligence with the SKA
Chenoa D. Tremblay, Alex Andersson, Joe Bright +19
The search for technosignatures (also known as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence or SETI) depends critically on our ability to distinguish artificial signals from the ri…
The TOLIMAN mission: A low-cost space telescope for high precision narrow-angle astrometry
Peter Tuthill, Christopher Betters, Max Charles +29
The TOLIMAN project is engaged with the construction, launch and operation of a low-cost space telescope of unorthodox optical design. Its primary science goal targets an exhaustiv…
