The far future of exoplanet direct characterization (2009)
Schneider, Jean, Leger, Alain, Fridlund, Malcolm, White, Glenn, Eiroa, Carlos, Henning, Thomas, ...
In this outlook we describe what could be the next steps of the direct characterization of habitable exoplanets after first the medium and large mission projects and investigate the benefits of the...
Darwin -— an experimental astronomy mission to search for extrasolar planets (2009)
Cockell, Charles S., Herbst, Tom, Léger, Alain, Absil, O., Beichman, Charles, Benz, Willy, ...
As a response to ESA call for mission concepts for its Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 plan, we propose a mission called Darwin. Its primary goal is the study of terrestrial extrasolar planets and the...

M stars as targets for terrestrial exoplanet searches and biosignature detection (2007)
Scalo, John, Kaltenegger, Lisa, Segura, Antigona, Fridlund, Malcolm, Ribas, Ignasi, Kulikov, Yu. N., ...
The changing view of planets orbiting low mass stars, M stars, as potentially hospitable worlds for life and its remote detection was motivated by several factors, including the demonstration of...
Comparative Planetology and the Search for Life Beyond the Solar System (2006)
Beichman, Charles A., Fridlund, Malcolm, Traub, Wesley A., Stapelfeldt, Karl R., Quirrenbach, Andreas, Seager, Sara
The study of planets beyond the solar system and the search for other habitable planets and life is just beginning. Ground-based (radial velocity and transits) and space-based surveys (transits and...
The Spatial Structure of the beta Pictoris Gas Disk (2003)
Brandeker, Alexis, Liseau, Rene, Olofsson, Goran, Fridlund, Malcolm
We have used VLT/UVES to spatially resolve the gas disk of beta Pictoris. 88 extended emission lines are observed, with the brightest coming from Fe I, Na I and Ca II. The extent of the gas disk is...
The 1.2 Millimeter Image of the beta Pictoris Disk (2003)
Liseau, Rene', Brandeker, Alexis, Fridlund, Malcolm, Olofsson, Goeran, Takeuchi, Taku, Artymowicz, Pawel
We present millimeter imaging observations in the 1200 micron continuum of the disk around beta Pictoris. With the 25 arcsec beam, the beta Pic disk is unresolved perpendicularly to the disk plane (<...
