THEIA: Telescope for Habitable Exoplanets and Interstellar∕Intergalactic Astronomy
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009 In this paper, we provide an overview of the scientific potential of the THEIA mission concept. THEIA consists of a 4‐meter telescope diffraction limited to 300 nm, and a 40‐meter external occulter to provide high‐contrast imaging. Operating from 250 to 1000 nm, it will provide a rich family of science projects, including exoplanet characterization ...

The detection of circumbinary exoplanets through gravitational waves astronomy
, 2020 The discovery and study of exoplanets in their diversity is arguably one of the most exciting development in astronomy over the past 25 years, rivalled by the detection of gravitational waves.In this talk I will merge these two fields presenting an original observational method which employs gravitational waves to detect exoplanets. In ...

The search for exoplanets using ultra-long wavelength radio astronomy
2017 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2017 Recent studies on extra solar planets (exoplanets) provide us with a new glimpse into the Milky Way's composition. Exoplanets appear to be very typical around Sunlike stars. Most of these exoplanets are observed via indirect measurements. If a direct radio observation of the exoplanet's signal was possible, new scientific information will help us in ...

High-resolution integrated photonic micro-spectrographs for radial velocity exoplanet astronomy
2013 Conference on Lasers & Electro-Optics Europe & International Quantum Electronics Conference CLEO EUROPE/IQEC, 2013 Summary form only given. The Integrated Photonic Spectrograph (IPS) is a complete spectrograph within a single silica photonic chip that has no moving parts and is far smaller than existing bulk-optic spectrographs [1,2]. The typical IPS format employs a lithographically created Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) structure in a silica-on-silicon chip ...

Major prospects of exoplanet astronomy with the World Space Observatory–UltraViolet mission
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2014 The success of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) first and then of the STIS and COS spectrographs on-board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) demonstrate the impact that observations at UV wavelengths had and are having on modern astronomy. Several discoveries in the exoplanet field have been done at UV wavelengths. Nevertheless, the amount of

MEC: the MKID exoplanet camera for high contrast astronomy at Subaru (Conference Presentation)
Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy VII, 2018 Direct Imaging of exoplanets is one of the most technically difficult techniques used to study exoplanets, but holds immense promise for not just detecting but characterizing planets around the nearest stars. Ambitious instruments at the world’s largest telescopes have been built to carry out this science: the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), SPHERE at VLT,

The Europlanet Society support to Amateur Astronomy in planetary science and exoplanets observations
The Europlanet Association and its related Europlanet Society are a key part of the long-standing legacy of several research infrastructure projects funded by the European Commission. The last of those projects was the Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure (grant agreement No 871149), which was a partnership among more than 50 different beneficiary ...

Astronomy from the Moon: From Exoplanets to Cosmology in Visible Light
I look at what astronomy from the Moon might be like in the visible over the next few decades.The Moon offers the possibility of installing large telescopes or interferometers with instruments larger than those on orbiting telescopes. I first present examples of ambitious science cases, in particular ideas that cannot be implemented from Earth.
