SUMMARY:A High Resolution View of Exoplanet Atmospheres - Jayne Birkby (Ox

CONTACT:Dr Annelies Mortier
DESCRIPTION:The last decade of investigation into exoplanet atmospheres ha
 s revealed incredible detail about the physics and chemistry governing the
 ir behaviour throughout their evolution. This includes dynamics and global
  wind patterns\, their clouds and optical colours\, as well as new fundame
 ntal observables such as their spin. Despite all this\, we have still bare
 ly scratched the surface\, and we are about to rapidly move into the era o
 f robust characterization of smaller icy and rocky worlds. In this talk\, 
 I will present my group’s work from Oxford and Amsterdam\, that using hi
 gh resolution spectroscopy and high contrast imaging to push the boundarie
 s of observational technologies to access new information on exoplanet atm
 ospheres. I will demonstrate how we are adapting high resolution spectrosc
 opy to study the reflected light from exoplanets with the ELTs\, which may
  be our only avenue this decade for detecting O2 biosignatures. This will 
 include showing our simulations for HARMONI/ELT. I will also show how we a
 re using novel apodizers to study high cadence time variability in directl
 y imaged exoplanets. With this\, we ultimately aim to enable mapping of st
 orms and features of giant exoplanets with the ELTs.
