An Ultra-Stable Mid-Infrared Sensor for the Detection of Bio-Signatures by Means of Transit Spectroscopy
Abstract
We develop an ultra-stable Mid-IR Array for the observation of Exoplanet Transits.This spectrometer is needed to achieve the required sensitivity for the detection of atmospheric bio-signatures in habitable-zone planets around M-dwarfs.
