E-ELT SCIENCE MEETINGS

E-ELT science case meeting, 08-10 November 2004, Florence.

PROGRAMME OF BREAK-OUT SESSION PLANETS & STARS

Monday afternoon

Planet detection from extreme AO images: experience gained from the VLT-CHEOPS project and prospectives for larger telescopes Raffaele Gratton
Imaging extrasolar planets with ELTs: constraints on Strehl ratio Alain Chelli
Detection and Characterization of Jovian and Saturnian planets in reflected light Penny Sackett
Considerations on the shape and PSF of extremely large telescopes Piero Salinari
What do we gain quantitatively and qualitatively for exoplanet science with a 100m compared to a 50m ELT? (some new topics) Jean Schneider
Space-based searches for extroplanets (DARWIN, TPF, etc.) Malcolm Fridlund

Tuesday afternoon

Prospects of exo-planet detection around white dwarfs Matt Burleigh
KEOPS, a long-baseline interferometer to detect exo-earths   Bruno Lopez
Free floating planets in star clusters Rafael Rebolo

Discussion on extreme adaptive optics, differential spectro-imaging, space vs. ground-based, interferometry vs. monolithic telescopes; design requirements (diffraction limit, shape, size, location, etc.), coordination of efforts (OPTICON, ESO and ESA), developments in the US.
