Behind the mask: can HARMONI@ELT detect biosignatures in the reflected light of Proxima b?

Vaughan, Sophia R. Birkby, Jayne L. Thatte, Niranjan

Proxima b is a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of the nearest star system and a key test case in the search for extraterrestrial life. Here, we investigate the characterization of a potential Earth-like atmosphere around Proxima b in reflected light via molecule mapping, combining high-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) and high contrast...

HARMONI at ELT: system analysis and performance estimation of the high-contrast module

Carlotti, Alexis Jocou, Laurent Moulin, Thibaut

HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 450nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3500 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60mas to 4mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes- SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAOor with NOAO. The project...
