Biology

Extrasolar Planets: Infrared Imaging

Scientific paper

The interpretation of biosignatures on extrasolar Earth-like planets will depend on the understanding of the physical conditions of the harboring planet. These conditions can be studied in the reflected light and thermal emission regimes. They both have their advantages and disadvantages, including artefacts, in the determination of planet physical parameters (mass, size, albedo, surface and atmospheric conditions etc.). New perspectives for these different aspects are also presented. Finally brief account of the ground based programmes and space-based projects and their potentialities for Earth-like planets is made and discussed.
