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…
The Wide-field High-resolution Infrared TElescope (WHITE)
D. Burgarella, B. Le Roux, M. Langlois +3
The Wide-field High-resolution Infrared TElescope (WHITE) will be dedicated in the first years of its life to carrying out a few (well focused in terms of science objectives and ti…
Wide Field Astronomy at Dome C: two IR surveys complementary to SNAP
D. Burgarella, M. Ferrari, T. Fusco +4
Surveys provide a wealth of data to the astronomical community that are used well after their completion. In this paper, we propose a project that would take the maximum benefit of…
Liquid Mirror Telescopes: A progress report
Ermanno F. Borra, Marc Ferrari, Luc Girard +3
We review the present status of liquid mirror telescopes. Interferometric tests of liquid mirrors (the largest one having a diameter of 2.5 meters ) show excellent optical qualitie…
Active vase mirrors warped by Zernike polynomials for Correcting off-axis aberrations of fixed primary mirrors. Part 2 - Optical testing and performance evaluation
G. Moretto, G. R. LemaitreT. Bactivelane, M. Wang +4
We investigate the aspherization of an active mirror for correcting third and fifth-order aberrations. We use a stainless steel AISI 420 mirror with a controlled pressure load, two…
