Information - ON5 Spectroscopic Characterisation of Exoplanet Atmospheres
Event Information
Most recent studies and observations (with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescope) of transiting extrasolar giant planets suggest that spectra of transiting planets can be used to infer many properties of their atmospheres and internal structure. The next generation of space telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (2013), will have the capability of acquiring spectra in the Near/Mid-Infrared of smaller-size extrasolar worlds. Further into the future, the direct imaging of exoplanets, both in the optical and infrared, will provide reflected and emitted spectra of extrasolar bodies orbiting at larger distances from their parent stars. Mission concepts now proposed to ESA and NASA will expand our knowledge in the next decades from Giants/Neptunes/Super-Earths to Earth-size objects.
