Exoplanetary systems study with MICADO
2019
The observation and characterization of the exoplanets and planetary architectures are crucial to broaden and complete our vision of the formation and evolution of planetary systems but also of the physics of the atmospheres of the exoplanets. In this context, MICADO, the European Extremely Large Telescope first-light imager will be equipped with an imaging mode dedicated to exoplanets and a long slit spectroscopy mode (R = 20 000) with an unbeaten sensitivity. The 5-fold increase in the angular resolution between the current instruments like SPHERE or GPI and MICADO will allow a quantitative and qualitative jump on the study of these planetary systems. Among the promising scientific cases: the characterization of exoplanets in synergy with GAIA and radial velocity surveys (eg SPIRou), the study of disk-planet interactions, the high-resolution study of exoplanetary atmospheres.
