1 Probing Proto- /Exo- Planetary Atmosphere with RAVEN/IRCS Hiroshi TERADA (Subaru Telescope, NAOJ) (I) Organic Molecules in Protoplanetary Disks (II) Exo-Planetary Atmosphere in Transiting Systems

2 Basic Concept ~ Mul&plicity vs. Simultaneity ~ Mul%ple Observa%on - - > More efficient survey capability => Very important towards more mul%plicity than 2 (30- m class MOAO). Simultaneous Observa%on - - > Simultaneity could be essen%al for some science cases. => Should be unique even with 2 science paths.

3 Advantage of RAVEN: Simultaneity Keyword: Atmospheric Calibra%on at IR J H K L M For atmospheric correc%on, a reference star is observed with similar airmass, loca%on on the sky, and close %me interval. Simultaneous observa%on of the reference star is ul%mate methodology for perfect cancella%on of the atmosphere condi%on..

17 (II) Exo- Planetary Atmosphere in Transi^ng System: Ground- based Trial in IR Miller- Ricci Kempton, Zahnle, Fortney 2012

18 (II) Exo- Planetary Atmosphere in Transi^ng System: Keys to Achieve 10(- 4) Especially for IR, it s so difficult.. a. S%ck the target exactly at the same loca%on of the detector. => Uncertainty of ununiform sensi%vity in the infrared detector has to be eliminated. b. Increase the S/N using over- sampling of the object. => Usually defocused image is used. c. Simultaneously observe the reference. => Eliminate variability of atmospheric absorp%on

19 (II) Exo- Planetary Atmosphere in Transi^ng System: Concept for Detec%on 1. Use AO to keep the star very effectively at the same location of the infrared array. => atmospheric dispersion correction (software should be enough) 2. Too sharp image should lose S/N. + Defocused image before the slit will lose the photon. => IRCS Prism is used. => After the slit, the photon will distribute over wider area of the array.
