Exoplanet Albedo Spectra and Colors as a Function of Planet Phase, Separation, and Metallicity

First generation space-based optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas- and ice-giant exoplanets around nearby stars. Exoplanets lying at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU—where an exoplanet can be resolved from its parent star—have spectra that are dominated by re...
