Infrared Transmission Spectra for Extrasolar Giant Planets
Among the hot Jupiters known to date that transit their parent stars, the two best candidates to be observed with transmission spectroscopy in the mid-infrared (MIR) are HD 189733b and HD 209458b, due to their combined characteristics of planetary density, orbital parameters, and parent star distance and brightness. Here we simulate transmission spectra of these two planets during their primary...
متن کاملMicrolensing Searches for Extrasolar Planets: Current Status and Future Prospects
I review results from, and future prospects for, microlensing searches for extrasolar planets. Analyses of well-sampled microlensing light curves by several collaborations have demonstrated that current searches are sensitive to ∼> 1MJ planets with few AU separations from M dwarfs in the Galactic bulge. To date, however, no unambiguous planetary detections have been made. Detailed analysis has ...
متن کاملMicrolensing Searches for Planets: Results and Future Prospects
Microlensing is potentially sensitive to multiple-planet systems containing analogs of all the solar system planets except Mercury, as well as to free floating planets. I review the landscape of microlensing planet searches, beginning with an outline of the method itself, and continuing with an overview of the results that have been obtained to date. Four planets have been detected with microle...
متن کاملA Sociology of Expectations: Retrospecting Prospects and Prospecting Retrospects. Technology Analysis and Strategic Management, 15(1), 3-18. A Sociology of Expectations: Retrospecting Prospects and Prospecting Retrospects
Future expectations and promise are crucial to providing the dynamism and momentum upon which so many ventures in science and technology depend. This is especially the case for pre-market applications where practical utility and value has yet to be demonstrated and where investment must sustained. For instance, clinical biotechnology (including a wide range of genetic therapeutic and engineerin...
متن کاملSPICA infrared coronagraph for the direct observation of exo-planets
We present a mid-infrared coronagraph to target the direct observation of extrasolar planets, for Space Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA). SPICA is a proposed JAXA-ESA mission, which will carry a telescope cooled to 5K with a 3.5m diameter aperture, and is planed to be launched in 2017 by an H II-A rocket. The SPICA mission gives us a unique opportunity for high-contrast...
