High-Contrast Direct Imaging Of Exoplanets And Circumstellar Disks: From The Self-Coherent Camera To Nici Data Analysis
2014
Zenodo
Of the 1800 exoplanets detected to date, only 50 were by direct imaging. However, by allowing the observation of circumstellar disks and planets (sometimes simultaneously around the same star, as in the case of β-pictoris), this method is a fundamental tool for the understanding of planetary formation. In addition, direct access to the light of the detected objects allows spectroscopy, paving the way for the first time to the chemical and thermal analysis of their atmosphere and surface.
