On the Detectability of Biomarkers in Extrasolar Super-Earth Atmospheres

Description

The presence of biomarker molecules in the atmospheres of terrestrial planets is usually interpreted within the context of biological activity. The instrumental design requirements for the detection of such species are demanding because of the weak signals. In this contribution we present contrast spectra of super-Earth planets.
