High-Resolution Imaging and Spectroscopy of Exoplanets
Atmospheric composition provides essential markers of the most fundamental properties of exoplanets, such as their formation mechanism or internal structure. New-generation exoplanet imagers have been designed to achieve high contrast for the detection of young giant planets in the near-infrared, but they only provide very low spectral resolutions (R<100) for their characterization. For a major breakthrough in the comprehension of young exoplanets and their atmospheres, an increase of a factor 100 to 1000 in spectral resolution is absolutely required. This proposal ambitions to develop a novel demonstrator that will combine the capabilities of two flagship instruments installed on the ESO…
