Exoplanetary science is on the verge of an unprecedented revolution. The thousands of
exoplanets discovered over the past decade have most recently been supplemented by …

Exoplanet hunting efforts have revealed the prevalence of exotic worlds with diverse
properties, including Earth-sized bodies, which has fueled our endeavor to search for life …

Observations of circumstellar environments that look for the direct signal of exoplanets and
the scattered light from disks have significant instrumental implications. In the past 15 years …

Direct imaging studies have mainly used low-resolution spectroscopy (R∼ 20–100) to study
the atmospheres of giant exoplanets and brown dwarf companions, but the presence of …

Over the last two decades, several thousand exoplanets have been identified, and their
study has become a high scientific priority. Direct imaging of nearby exoplanets and the …

Abstract Space-based high-contrast imaging mission concepts for studying rocky exoplanets
in reflected light are currently under community study. We develop an inverse modeling …

Context. Angular differential imaging (ADI) and spectral differential imaging (SDI) are well-
established high-contrast imaging techniques, but their application is challenging for …

Photonic technologies offer numerous advantages for astronomical instruments such as
spectrographs and interferometers owing to their small footprints and diverse range of …

A major endeavor of this decade is the direct characterization of young giant exoplanets at
high spectral resolution to determine the composition of their atmosphere and infer their …

Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) sensitive to light in the ultraviolet to near-
infrared wavelengths are superconducting microresonators that are capable of measuring …
