Abstract:The development of small space-based platforms for nulling interferometric observations could be the pathfinder of a new era in exoplanetology. While planetary transit and radial velocity are the most productive ways to detect exoplanets, such techniques are indirect detections. For deeper characterization of exoplanets, direct detection techniques should be developed. By injecting direct light coming from exoplanets into spectrometers, we could study their chemical composition, search for biosignatures, and p… Show more
