A Mission to Find and Study Life on an Exoplanet
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 1-meter telescope with a coronagraph (with 10 suppression) placed in the focal area of the solar gravitational lens (SGL) can image an exoplanet at the distance up to 100 light years with a kilometer-scale resolution on its surface. In addition, spectroscopic broadband signal-to-noise ratio is ~10 in 2 weeks of integration time, providing this instrument with incredible remotesensing capabilities.

The CoRoT exoplanet programme: exploring the gas-giant/terrestrial planet transition Abstract. CoRoT, which was launched successfully on the 27 th of December 2006, is the first space mission to have the search for planetary transits at the heart of its science programme. It is expected to be able to detect transits of planets with radii down to approximately two Earth radii and periods up to a...
متن کاملExoplanet Predictions Based on Harmonic Orbit Resonances
The current exoplanet database includes 5454 confirmed and candidate planets observed with the Kepler mission. We find 932 planet pairs from which we extract distance and orbital period ratios. While earlier studies used a logarithmic spacing, which lacks a physical model, we employ here the theory of harmonic orbit resonances, which contains quantized ratios instead, to explain the observed pl...
متن کاملPlanetary Imaging Concept Testbed Using a Recoverable Experiment–Coronagraph (PICTURE C)
An exoplanet mission based on a high-altitude balloon is a next logical step in humanity’s quest to explore Earthlike planets in Earthlike orbits orbiting Sunlike stars. The mission described here is capable of spectrally imaging debris disks and exozodiacal light around a number of stars spanning a range of infrared excesses, stellar types, and ages. The mission is designed to characterize the...

Background and Aim: Nursing is an important subset of the health care system to act in critical situations. Military and civilian nurses are among the first to appear on the scene and provide services in the event of an accident or disaster, and military nurses play a double role in times of crisis due to their special security dimension. Assessing the capability and readiness of military nurse...
متن کاملA Potential Super-venus in the Kepler-69 System
Transiting planets have greatly expanded and diversified the exoplanet field. These planets provide greater access to characterization of exoplanet atmospheres and structure. The Kepler mission has been particularly successful in expanding the exoplanet inventory, even to planets smaller than the Earth. The orbital period sensitivity of the Kepler data is now extending into the Habitable Zones ...
