Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): XI. Phase-space synthesis decomposition for planet detection and characterization
Taro Matsuo, Felix Dannert, Romain Laugier +3
A mid-infrared nulling-space interferometer is a promising way to characterize thermal light from habitable planet candidates around Sun-like stars. However, one of the main challe…
A Coronagraph with a Sub- IWA and a Moderate Spectral Bandwidth
Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo
Future high-contrast imaging spectroscopy with a large segmented telescope will be able to detect atmospheric molecules of Earth-like planets around G- or K-type main-sequence star…
High spatial resolution spectral imaging method for space interferometers and its application to formation-flying small satellites
Taro Matsuo, Satoshi Ikari, Hirotaka Kondo +3
Infrared space interferometers can surpass the spatial resolution limitations of single-dish space telescopes. However, stellar interferometers from space have not been realized be…
Densified pupil spectrograph as high-precision radial velocimetry: From direct measurement of the Universe's expansion history to characterization of nearby habitable planet candidates
Taro Matsuo, Thomas P. Greene, Mahdi Qezlou +4
The direct measurement of the Universe's expansion history and the search for terrestrial planets in habitable zones around solar-type stars require extremely high-precision radial…
Spectroscopic fourth-order coronagraph for the characterization of terrestrial planets at small angular separations from host stars
Taro Matsuo, Satoshi Itoh, Yuji Ikeda
We propose a new approach for high-contrast imaging at the diffraction limit using segmented telescopes in a modest observation bandwidth. This concept, named "spectroscopic fourth…
Fourth-order Coronagraph for High-Contrast Imaging of Exoplanets with Off-axis Segmented Telescopes
Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo
We propose a coronagraphic system with fourth-order null for off-axis segmented telescopes, which is sufficiently insensitive to the telescope pointing errors and finite angular di…
