After decades of fast-paced technical advances, optical/infrared (O/IR) interferometry has
seen a revolution in recent years:▪ The GRAVITY instrument at the Very Large Telescope …

Context. One of the long-term goals of exoplanet science is the atmospheric characterization
of dozens of small exoplanets in order to understand their diversity and search for habitable …

Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our
understanding of the cosmos—the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just …

Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation.
However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a …

Context. Temperate terrestrial exoplanets are likely to be common objects, but their
discovery and characterization is very challenging because of the small intrinsic signal …

The expected yield of potentially Earth-like planets is a useful metric for designing future
exoplanet-imaging missions. Recent yield studies of direct-imaging missions have focused …

Context. The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) initiative is developing the science
and a technology road map for an ambitious space mission featuring a space-based mid …

Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Imager and Slitless
Spectrograph (JWST-NIRISS) flies a 7-hole non-redundant mask (NRM), the first such …

Context. An important future goal in exoplanetology is to detect and characterize potentially
habitable planets. Concepts for future space missions have already been proposed: from a …

Direct imaging is a powerful exoplanet discovery technique that is complementary to other
techniques and offers great promise in the era of 30 m class telescopes. Space-based transit …
