Design of a telescope-occulter system for THEIA
Eric Cady, Ruslan Belikov, Philip Dumont +10
The Telescope for Habitable Exoplanets and Interstellar/Intergalactic Astronomy (THEIA) is a mission concept study for a flagship-class telescope-occulter system to search for terr…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Shaped pupil design for the Gemini Planet Imager
Eric Cady, Bruce Macintosh, N. Jeremy Kasdin +1
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is an instrument designed for the Gemini South telescope to image young Jupiter-mass planets in the infrared. To achieve the high contrast needed for…
Detectability of Terrestrial Planets in Multi-Planet Systems: Preliminary Report
Wesley A. Traub, Charles Beichman, Andrew F. Boden +21
We ask if Earth-like planets (terrestrial mass and habitable-zone orbit) can be detected in multi-planet systems, using astrometric and radial velocity observations. We report here…
Analyzing the designs of planet finding missions
D. Savransky, N. J. Kasdin, E. Cady
We present a framework for the analysis of direct detection planet finding missions using space telescopes. This framework generates simulations of complete missions, with varying…
