The Potential of Exozodiacal Disks Observations with the WFIRST Coronagraph Instrument
B. Mennesson, V. Bailey, J. Kasdin +60
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) will be the first high-performance stellar coronagraph using active wavefront control for deep starli…
The Scientific Context of WFIRST Microlensing in the 2020s
Jennifer Yee, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +23
[abridged] WFIRST is uniquely capable of finding planets with masses as small as Mars at separations comparable to Jupiter, i.e., beyond the current ice lines of their stars. These…
Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Yann Alibert +41
The Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, b…
Masses and Distances of Planetary Microlens Systems with High Angular Resolution Imaging
Aparna Bhattacharya, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +33
Microlensing is the only method that can detect and measure mass of wide orbit, low mass, solar system analog exoplanets. Mass measurements of such planets would yield massive scie…
White Paper: Exoplanetary Microlensing from the Ground in the 2020s
Jennifer C. Yee, Jay Anderson, Rachel Akeson +25
Microlensing can access planet populations that no other method can probe: cold wide-orbit planets beyond the snow line, planets in both the Galactic bulge and disk, and free float…
