Exoplanets With JWST: Overview and Coronagraphic Imaging C. Beichman, Tom Greene, J. Lebreton, John Krist and NIRCam exoplanet team September 14, 2015 Five Major Themes for Exoplanets 1. Coronagraphic Imaging of Young Planets – Determine atmospheric composi on and physical proper es to understand forma on mechanism of exterior planets – Extend to lower mass limits compared to ground based observa ons 2. Coronagraphic Imaging of Debris Disks – Assess composi on and structure of disks, e.g. H2O and other ices – Search for planets shepherding or sculp ng disks 3. Survey nearby young M stars – Provide census of Jovian mass planets at few 10s of AU 4. Spectroscopy of Young Planets – Determine atmospheric composi on and physical proper es to understand forma on mechanism of exterior planets 5. Transit Spectroscopy of Mature Planets – Determine atmospheric composi on and physical proper es to understand forma on mechanism of interior planets 6. Coolest Brown Dwarfs --- Y dwarfs as exoplanet analogs 7.

Science Goals for Direct Imaging • Characterize physical proper es of known young planets via coronagraphic imaging – Complete Spectral Energy Distribu on (3 to >11 µm) to determine effec ve temperature and total luminosity – Atmospheric proper es with filter photometry – Improve orbital parameters with mul -epoch data • Search for lower mass planets (~Saturn) JWST Poor IWA, High Sensi vity @ 3-15 µm

• Sca ered light imaging of bright debris disks, -4 Ld/L*>10 (roughly same level as HST) • Composi on of debris disks, esp. ices • Search for planets responsible for structures such as narrow rings
3. What Is The Frequency Of Planets Orbi ng M Stars?
• Kepler suggests 2 planets (1-4 R⊕) around each M star w. P<50 d (Dressing and Charbonneau 2015)
• RV/imaging suggest Jupiters rare 2MASS 1207-- 5 MJup planet orbi ng M8 star at 1” • Microlensing suggests 1
MJup objects equal in ## to M stars –Planets in wide orbits?
–Free floa ng 1 MJup? • JWST can find
