: Planet or Noise?
Jacob Golomb, Graça Rocha, Tiffany Meshkat +5
The work presented here attempts at answering the question: how do we decide when a given adetection is a planet or just residual noise in exoplanet direct imaging data? To this en…
Searching for Planets Orbiting Alpha Centauri A with the James Webb Space Telescope
Charles Beichman, Marie Ygouf, Jorge Llop Sayson +18
Alpha Centauri A is the closest solar-type star to the Sun and offers an excellent opportunity to detect the thermal emission of a mature planet heated by its host star. The MIRI c…
Nulling at short wavelengths: theoretical performance constraints and a demonstration of faint companion detection inside the diffraction limit with a rotating-baseline interferometer
Eugene Serabyn, Bertrand Mennesson, Stefan Martin +2
The Palomar Fiber Nuller (PFN) is a rotating-baseline nulling interferometer that enables high-accuracy near-infrared (NIR) nulling observations with full azimuth coverage. To achi…
High-Contrast Testbeds for Future Space-Based Direct Imaging Exoplanet Missions
Johan Mazoyer, Pierre Baudoz, Ruslan Belikov +25
Instrumentation techniques in the field of direct imaging of exoplanets have greatly advanced over the last two decades. Two of the four NASA-commissioned large concept studies inv…
Cold Debris Disks as Strategic Targets for the 2020s
John Debes, Elodie Choquet, Virginie C. Faramaz +19
Cold debris disks (T200 K) are analogues to the dust in the Solar System's Kuiper belt--dust generated from the evaporation and collision of minor bodies perturbed by planets, o…
Detecting Earth-like Biosignatures on Rocky Exoplanets around Nearby Stars with Ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes
Mercedes López-Morales, Thayne Currie, Johanna Teske +21
As we begin to discover rocky planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars with missions like TESS and CHEOPS, we will need quick advancements on instrumentation and observational…
