Scientific paper

We discuss the scientific output expected from single aperture imaging of exoplanets by comparing expected detections from different ground-based and space instruments, either in construction or proposed for the future. Images of a few young giant planets have been already obtained, and many more are expected with planet finders on 8 meter class telescopes or JWST. Direct detections of Neptune-like and rocky planets require a new generation of instruments, either specialized satellites or extremely large telescopes from the ground. We emphasize that ELT’s, and in particular the E-ELT, may allow the characterization of planets detectable with indirect techniques, like RV and astrometry, allowing an important step forward in planetary science.
