Behind the Mask: can HARMONI@ELT detect biosignatures in the reflected light of Proxima b?
Sophia R. Vaughan, Jayne L. Birkby, Niranjan Thatte +7
Proxima b is a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of the nearest star system and a key test case in the search for extraterrestrial life. Here, we investigate the characterizati…
Visible extreme adaptive optics on extremely large telescopes: Towards detecting oxygen in Proxima Centauri b and analogs
J. Fowler, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Maaike A. M. van Kooten +38
Looking to the future of exo-Earth imaging from the ground, core technology developments are required in visible extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) to enable the observation of atmosph…
Chasing rainbows and ocean glints: Inner working angle constraints for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Sophia R. Vaughan, Timothy D. Gebhard, Kimberly Bott +41
NASA is engaged in planning for a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HabWorlds), a coronagraphic space mission to detect rocky planets in habitable zones and establish their habitabilit…
Direct imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets with the ELT/HARMONI high-contrast module
Mathis Houllé, Arthur Vigan, Alexis Carlotti +9
Combining high-contrast imaging with medium-resolution spectroscopy has been shown to significantly boost the direct detection of exoplanets. HARMONI, one of the first-light instru…
Imaging low-mass planets within the habitable zone of α Centauri
K. Wagner, A. Boehle, P. Pathak +39
Giant exoplanets on wide orbits have been directly imaged around young stars. If the thermal background in the mid-infrared can be mitigated, then exoplanets with lower masses can…
A medium-resolution spectrum of the exoplanet HIP 65426 b
Simon Petrus, Mickaël Bonnefoy, Gaël Chauvin +18
Medium-resolution integral-field spectrographs (IFS) coupled with adaptive-optics such as Keck/OSIRIS, VLT/MUSE, or SINFONI are appearing as a new avenue for enhancing the detectio…
SPHERE+: Imaging young Jupiters down to the snowline
A. Boccaletti, G. Chauvin, D. Mouillet +130
SPHERE (Beuzit et al,. 2019) has now been in operation at the VLT for more than 5 years, demonstrating a high level of performance. SPHERE has produced outstanding results using a…
Data processing on simulated data for SHARK-NIR
E. Carolo, D. Vassallo, J. Farinato +22
A robust post processing technique is mandatory to analyse the coronagraphic high contrast imaging data. Angular Differential Imaging (ADI) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) a…
