Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets with a 1.5-m space coronagraph
(Amsterdam Netherlands: SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2012)Several small space coronagraphs have been proposed to characterize cold exoplanets in reflected light. Studies have mainly focused on technical feasibility because of the huge star/planet flux ratio to achieve in the ...
