Colloquium
Direct Imaging of Exoplanets; from investigation of Jovian planet formation/evolution to future explorations for the Second Earth
Abstract
Since the first detection of an extrasolar planet (exoplanet), thousands of exoplanets have been reported through a variety of detection techniques. Direct imaging is a unique way of proving the presence of exoplanets, providing useful information for their characterizations. I will discuss how direct imaging tackles challenges of controversial planet formation/evolution theories, by presenting current direct imaging observations of young Jovian planets and protoplanetary disks with adaptive optics observation with ground-based telescopes and cycle-1 JWST programs, including our programs with Subaru, Keck, and JWST. I will also introduce prospects for future direct imaging explorations of terrestrial planets and extraterrestrial lives in the next decades.
