The idea behind FIRST (Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope) is to use single-mode
fibers to combine multiple apertures in a pupil plane as such as to synthesize a bigger …

CHEOPS (Characterizing Exoplanets Satellite) is devoted to the characterization of known
exoplanets orbiting bright stars, achieved through the precise measurement of exoplanet …

Abstract CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite) is the first exoplanet mission
dedicated to the search for transits of exoplanets by means of ultrahigh precision photometry …

One of the major goals of astrobiology and possibly the most challenging question in 21st
century exoplanet research is the investigation of the atmospheric properties for a large …

ATLAST is a particular realization of the Large Ultraviolet Optical Infrared telescope
(LUVOIR), a∼ 10-m diameter space telescope being defined for consideration in the 2020 …

Astrophysical research into exoplanets has delivered thousands of confirmed planets
orbiting distant stars. These planets span a wide range of size and composition, with …

The far-infrared (far-IR) spectral window plays host to a wide range of spectroscopic
diagnostics with which to study planetary disk systems and exoplanets at wavelengths …

The atmospheric characterization of a significant number of terrestrial planets, including the
search for habitable and potentially inhabited planets, is arguably a major goal of …

Existing planet-finding spectrometers are limited by systematic errors that result from their
seeing-limited design. Of particular concern is the use of multi-mode fibers (MMFs), which …
