A Technology Validation Program for near-IR Habitable Exoplanet Imaging with GMT and TMT
·
Abstract
We describe a program to support the development of GMT and TMT instrumentation capable of direct imaging and spectroscopic characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets orbiting nearby stars. A focus of the validation effort is to leverage existing facilities to support on-sky validation of promising new technologies and approaches.
