The Lazuli Space Observatory is a 3-meter–class space-based astronomical facility designed for rapid-response observations and precision astrophysics across optical and near-infrared wavelengths. An unobscured, off-axis three-mirror anastigmat telescope delivers diffraction-limited image quality (Strehl ratio > 0.8 at 500 nm) over a broad 400–1700 nm bandpass, enabling high-performance imaging, spectroscopy, and high-contrast observations from a single platform.

The First Selection Of Optimal Targets For The Lazuli ExtraSolar Coronagraph’s Reflected Starlight Exoplanet Campaign

by Keith CowingOctober 26, 2026October 26, 2026

[astro-ph.EP] Direct detection and characterization of exoplanet atmospheres via reflected starlight enables probes of composition of mature exoplanet systems (since flux is decoupled from age) at closer separations than via […]

Planetary distances (circular approximation) from the HZs in relation to the planetary eccentricities. The eccentricity is either the assumed value, an upper limit, or the actual eccentricity. The left panel conveys the full data set, whereas the right panel conveys a zoomed-in portion. Error bars for the non-zero eccentricities are given as well. HD 26161 is not included due to its outlying distance of 17.82 au. -- astro-ph.EP

Statistics And Habitability of F-type Star–Planet Systems

by Keith CowingJuly 24, 2024July 24, 2024

F-type star–planet systems represent an intriguing case for habitability studies. Although F-type stars spend considerably less time on the main-sequence than G, K, and M-type stars, they still offer a […]
