    High Resolution Imaging of Young Planets

    High Resolution Imaging of Young Planets

    Presenter: Ben Zuckerman ()

    June 27, 2005 11:00 AM Pacific

    Current, state of the art, imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope and
    with adaptive optics on large ground-based telescopes is insufficiently
    sensitive to detect starlight reflected from old cold extrasolar planets.
    However, massive planets with ages less than 100 million years are
    sufficiently self-luminous to be within our grasp now. This talk will
    focus on the first successful infrared imaging detections of extrasolar
    planets and on what can be learned now and in the near future from direct
    imaging of such planets.
