Beyond the speckles: New horizons in high-contrast imaging for exoplanet science
Direct imaging of exoplanets offers a uniquely powerful way of characterizing planetary atmospheres, surface conditions, and potential biological markers beyond our solar system. However, the extreme contrast and small angular separations involved present significant observational challenges that …

SHEDDING NEW LIGHT ON OLD DATA: FINDING NEW RESULTS FOR EXOPLANET SCIENCE IN ARCHIVAL DATA
… use them to find limitations in the modelling of exoplanet atmospheres due to pressure broadening. Pressure broadening, where collisions between molecules in atmospheres cause a Lorentzian broadening of molecular transitional lines, is little understood in the field. In this chapter I consider its …

Resolving the Mysteries of Highly Irradiated Planets: Observations and Simulations
Modern exoplanet science has an observational bias towards short-period planets. Among other things, these planets tend to be highly irradiated, either thermally resulting in high equilibrium temperatures and/or through high energy FUV/Xray radiation. The resulting planets exhibit a diverse array …

Techniques and Technologies for Earth-twin Discoveries
… three and a half years as a PhD student in the Exoplanet Research Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge, UK. Most of my work has been in collaboration and partnership with the HARPS3 instrument and the Terra Hunting Experiment. My focus is on the development of new …

New Advances in Exoplanet Spectroscopy from Space and Ground
Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered over the last thirty years, providing key insights into the population of planets in the galaxy. Today, atmospheric characterisation of these distant worlds is at the forefront of exoplanet science, with new observational capabilities revolutionising …

Tracing the horizons of habitability with Venus and warm rocky exoplanets
… primary objectives of astronomy and planetary science is the search for life beyond Earth. This search is conducted on two frontiers: one via exploration of extreme environments within the Solar System; the other via remote sensing of exoplanets that orbit distant stars. Venus, our nearest …
