Contribution
It introduces a novel off-axis space telescope concept optimized for detailed exoplanet characterization through spectral and polarimetric measurements.
Findings
Design achieves high contrast imaging capabilities.
Potential to analyze exoplanet properties down to 2 Earth radii.
Spectral and polarimetric analysis in 400-1250 nm range.
Abstract
The Super-Earth Explorer is an Off-Axis Space Telescope (SEE-COAST) designed for high contrast imaging. Its scientific objective is to make the physico-chemical characterization of exoplanets possibly down to 2 Earth radii >. For that purpose it will analyze the spectral and polarimetric properties of the parent starlight reflected by the planets, in the wavelength range 400-1250 nm
