The Astrometric Imaging Telescope: Near-Term Discovery and Study of Other Planetary Systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The Astrometric Imaging Telescope (AIT) is a space-based 1.5 to 2 meter diameter telescope designed to discover and study planetary systems around other stars. The measurement objectives and instrument design aim at a definitive search for other planetary systems. The science program includes two planetary-system investigations, and the telescope carries two separate instruments: an astrometric instrument to measure the reflex motions of stars caused by the motions of unseen planets and an imaging coronagraph to directly image planets and other circumstellar matter.
