Imaging Cool Giant Planets in Reflected Light: Science Investigations and Synergy with Habitable Planets
Mark Marley, Nikole Lewis, Giada Arney +38
Planned astronomical observatories of the 2020s will be capable of obtaining reflected light photometry and spectroscopy of cool extrasolar giant planets. Here we explain that such…
The Critical, Strategic Importance of Adaptive Optics-Assisted Ground-Based Telescopes for the Success of Future NASA Exoplanet Direct Imaging Missions
Thayne Currie, Ruslan Belikov, Olivier Guyon +18
Ground-based telescopes coupled with adaptive optics (AO) have been playing a leading role in exoplanet direct imaging science and technological development for the past two decade…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
Effect of Longitudinally Varying Cloud Coverage on Visible Wavelength Reflected-Light Exoplanet Phase Curves
Matthew W. Webber, Nikole K. Lewis, Mark Marley +3
We use a planetary albedo model to investigate variations in visible wavelength phase curves of exoplanets. The presence of clouds on these exoplanets significantly alters their pl…
The Atmospheres of Earth-like Planets after Giant Impact Events
R. E. Lupu, Kevin Zahnle, Mark S. Marley +6
It is now understood that the accretion of terrestrial planets naturally involves giant collisions, the moon-forming impact being a well known example. In the aftermath of such col…
Exoplanet albedo spectra and colors as a function of planet phase, separation, and metallicity
Kerri L. Cahoy, Mark S. Marley, Jonathan J. Fortney
First generation optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas and ice giant exoplanets around nearby stars. The albedo spectra of exoplanets at planet-star separ…
