Detecting Biosignatures in Nearby Rocky Exoplanets Using High-contrast Imaging and Medium-resolution Spectroscopy with the Extremely Large Telescope
In the upcoming decades, one of the primary objectives in exoplanet science is to search for habitable planets and signs of extraterrestrial life in the Universe. Signs of life can be indicated by thermal-dynamical imbalance in terrestrial planet atmospheres. O _2 and CH _4 in the modern Earth’s atm...
