Space telescope design to directly image the habitable zone of Alpha Centauri
Eduardo Bendek, Ruslan Belikov, Julien Lozi +4
The scientific interest in directly image and identifying Earth-like planets within the Habitable Zone (HZ) around nearby stars is driving the design of specialized direct imaging…
Near-Infrared Polarimetry of the GG Tauri A Binary System
Yoichi Itoh, Yumiko Oasa, Tomoyuki Kudo +47
A high angular resolution near-infrared polarized-intensity image of the GG Tau A binary system was obtained with the Subaru Telescope. The image shows the circumbinary disk scatte…
ATLAST detector needs for direct spectroscopic biosignature characterization in the visible and near-IR
Bernard J. Rauscher, Matthew R. Bolcar, Mark Clampin +6
Are we alone? Answering this ageless question will be a major focus for astrophysics in coming decades. Our tools will include unprecedentedly large UV-Optical-IR space telescopes…
Near-IR Polarized Scattered Light Imagery of the DoAr 28 Transitional Disk
Evan A. Rich, John P. Wisniewski, Satoshi Mayama +52
We present the first spatially resolved polarized scattered light H-band detection of the DoAr 28 transitional disk. Our two epochs of imagery detect the scattered light disk from…
First exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy: Confirmation of Rayleigh scattering in HD 189733 b with HIPO
Daniel Angerhausen, Georgi Mandushev, Avi Mandell +13
Here we report on the first successful exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). We observed a single transit of the hot Jupi…
Lower Limits on Aperture Size for an ExoEarth-Detecting Coronagraphic Mission
Christopher C. Stark, Aki Roberge, Avi Mandell +4
The yield of Earth-like planets will likely be a primary science metric for future space-based missions that will drive telescope aperture size. Maximizing the exoEarth candidate y…
