Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets using a 1.5-m coronagraphic space telescope

Show other versions (1)

High-contrast imaging is currently the only available technique for the study of the thermodynamical and compositional properties of exoplanets in long-period orbits, comparable to the range from Venus to Jupiter. The SPICES (Spectro-Polarimetric Imaging and Characterization of Exoplanetary Systems)...
