The Goldilocks problem for detecting water in terrestrial planets: Constraining water abundances in the mid-IR with LIFE

Sarah Rugheimer, Eleonora Alei, Björn S. Konrad +7

We investigate how well the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE) mission concept can detect habitable conditions on exoplanets through the presence of atmospheric water vapor…

Revisiting the multi-planetary system of the nearby star HD 20794: Confirmation of a low-mass planet in the habitable zone of a nearby G-dwarf

N. Nari, X. Dumusque, N. C. Hara +44

Close-by Earth analogs and super-Earths are of primary importance because they will be preferential targets for the next generation of direct imaging instruments. Bright and close-…

First light of the VLT planet finder SPHERE. IV. Physical and chemical properties of the planets around HR8799

M. Bonnefoy, A. Zurlo, J. L. Baudino +63

The system of four planets around HR8799 offers a unique opportunity to probe the physics and chemistry at play in the atmospheres of self-luminous young (~30 Myr) planets. We rece…

Optical imaging polarimetry of the LkCa 15 protoplanetary disk with SPHERE ZIMPOL

Christian Thalmann, Gijs D. Mulders, Markus Janson +15

We present the first optical (590--890 nm) imaging polarimetry observations of the pre-transitional protoplanetary disk around the young solar analog LkCa 15, addressing a number o…
