Using an instrument called a coronagraph, JWST will try to determine whether a planet has an atmosphere,
and other telescopes to make fascinating new observations including using MKIDS coupled to a coronagraph to directly discover
his team has provided the astronomers with geometric phase holograms that they have used build advanced coronagraphs--telescopes that can see things close to stars--to study exoplanets beyond our solar system."
The coronagraph is represented by the black filled circles. Left: J-band polarized intensity (P#)images.
The coronagraph is represented by the black filled circles. he Gemini Planet Imager allows us to study nearby planet forming disks in sufficient detail that we can obtain direct-image evidence for young planets in orbits similar to those of the giant planets
