The Effect of Lunar-like Satellites on the Orbital Infrared Light Curves of Earth-analog Planets
Nicholas A. Moskovitz, Eric Gaidos, Darren Williams
We investigate the influence of lunar-like satellites on the infrared orbital light curves of Earth-analog extra-solar planets. Such light curves will be obtained by NASA's Terrest…
Detecting the Glint of Starlight on the Oceans of Distant Planets
D. M. Williams, E. Gaidos
We propose that astronomers will be eventually be able to discriminate between extrasolar Earth-like planets with surface oceans and those without using the shape of phase light cu…
Terrestrial Exoplanet Light Curves
Eric Gaidos, Nicholas Moskovitz, Darren M. Williams
The phase or orbital light curves of extrasolar terrestrial planets in reflected or emitted light will contain information about their atmospheres and surfaces complementary to dat…
