Thesis
Testing the Ariel exoplanet space observatory
- Abstract:
-
Ariel is an ESA mission that will use the transit spectroscopy method to observe the atmospheres’ of ~1000 exoplanets. Ariel is a 1 m class cryogenic space telescope that will be placed in a halo orbit around the Earth-Sun L2 point. To detect atmospheric molecular absorption features, Ariel will produce medium-resolution spectra (R ≥ 15) using three spectroscopic channels covering 1.1 – 7.9 µm as well as having photometric channels covering 0.5 – 1.1 µm. The technical driver for Ariel, ...
