متن کاملWorlds beyond: A strategy for the detection and characterization of exoplanets. Executive summary of a report of the ExoPlanet Task Force Astronomy and Astrophysics Advisory Committee Washington, DC June 23, 2008.
WE STAND ON A GREAT DIVIDE in the detection and study of exoplanets. On one side of this divide are the hundreds of known massive exoplanets, with measured densities and atmospheric temperatures for a handful of the hottest exoplanets. On the other side of the divide lies the possibility, as yet unrealized, of detecting and characterizing a true Earth analogue—an Earth-like planet (a planet of ...
متن کاملEXONEST: The Bayesian Exoplanetary Explorer
The fields of astronomy and astrophysics are currently engaged in an unprecedented era of discovery as recent missions have revealed thousands of exoplanets orbiting other stars. While the Kepler Space Telescope mission has enabled most of these exoplanets to be detected by identifying transiting events, exoplanets often exhibit additional photometric effects that can be used to improve the cha...
متن کاملRadio Astrometric Detection and Characterization of Extra-Solar Planets: A White Paper Submitted to the NSF ExoPlanet Task Force
The extraordinary astrometric accuracy of radio interferometry creates an important and unique opportunity for the discovery and characterization of exoplanets. Currently, the Very Long Baseline Array can routinely achieve better than 100 μas accuracy, and can approach 10 μas with careful calibration. We describe here RIPL, the Radio Interferometric PLanet search, a new program with the VLBA an...
