Tests of achromatic phase shifters performed on the SYNAPSE test bench: a progress report
Pavel Gabor, Peter A. Schuller, Bruno Chazelas +16
The achromatic phase shifter (APS) is a component of the Bracewell nulling interferometer studied in preparation for future space missions (viz. Darwin/TPF-I) focusing on spectrosc…
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…
Prototyping coronagraphs for exoplanet characterization with SPHERE
Anthony Boccaletti, Lyu Abe, Jacques Baudrand +7
The detection and characterization of extrasolar planets with SPHERE (Spectro Polarimetric High contrast Exoplanet REsearch) is challenging and in particular relies on the ability…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
Could we identify hot Ocean-Planets with CoRoT, Kepler and Doppler velocimetry?
F. Selsis, B. Chazelas, P. Borde +16
Planets less massive than about 10 MEarth are expected to have no massive H-He atmosphere and a cometary composition (50% rocks, 50% water, by mass) provided they formed beyond the…
