Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures
One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e., the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here we adopt a Bayesian statistical framework to discuss the implications of such futu ...
NATL ACAD SCIENCES2020Optical characterization of two-dimensional array of 2048 tilting micromirrors for astronomical spectroscopy
Nico de Rooij, Michael David Canonica, Wilfried Noell
A micromirror array composed of 2048 silicon micromirrors measuring 200 x 100 mu m(2) and tilting by 25 degrees was developed as a reconfigurable slit mask for multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) in astronomy. The fill factor, contrast, and mirror deformation ...
Optical Society of America2013Ozone and water vapor measurements by Raman lidar in the planetary boundary layer
The temporal and spatial retrieve of ozone (O3) concentration and water vapor (H2O) mixing ratio in the troposphere is of essential interest. Contrary to the stratospheric case, the tropospheric ozone can have a harmful impact, with its toxic effect, on hu ...
