Combining Photometry and Astrometry to Improve Orbit Retrieval of Directly Imaged Exoplanets
Future missions like Roman, HabEx, and LUVOIR will directly image exoplanets in reflected light. While current near infrared direct imaging searches are only sensitive to young, self-luminous planets whose brightness […]

High Definition Astrometry
High Definition Astrometry (0.1 – 1.0 micro-arcseconds) will open a new window into neighboring planetary systems. For the first time, the realm of temperate terrestrial worlds will be explored. This […]
