Scientific paper

SPICA has the ability to directly detect Jovian planets in terms of sensitivity, and the additional coronagraphic capability will enable us to find not only free-floating but also wide companions with planetary masses. The spacebased telescope has an advantage in finding cooler planets around relatively old stars (>100 Myr - 5 Gyr), while ground-based surveys will find hotter, younger planets. We describe the observing mode and possible targets for SPICA coronagraphic observations of extra-solar planets. Low-resolution spectroscopy for known planets with Mp >2-3MJ may be interesting, while finding new cooler, older planets is also important.
