Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmospheres and surfaces with spectroscopy. Rocky planets within their sta

Towards a Small Prototype Planet Finding Interferometer: The next step in planet finding and characterization in the infrared

Autor: Danchi, W. C., Deming, D., Carpenter, K. G., Barry, R. K., Hinz, P., Johnston, K. J., Lawson, P., Lay, O., Monnier, J. D., Richardson, L. J., Rinehart, S., Traub, W.

During the last few years, considerable effort has been directed towards large-scale (>> $1 Billion US) missions to detect and characterize earth-like planets around nearby stars, such as the Terrestrial Planet Finder Interferometer (TPF-I) and Darwi

Observations of YSO Circumstellar Discs

Autor: Ward-Thompson, D., Andre, P., Lay, O. P.

We present the results of short baseline interferometry observations at submillimetre wavelengths, using a two-element interferometer comprising the JCMT and CSO, of circumstellar discs around young YSOs. We model data for the Class 0 protostar IRAS0

Introduction to the JCMT-CSO Interferometer

Autor: Wiedner, M. C., Hills, R. E., Carlstrom, J. E., Lay, O. P.

The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) are located 160m apart on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Recently they have been linked together to allow the first submillimetre interferometric observations (between 300GH
