Physics

Scientific paper

An External Occulter, flying in formation with a conventional telescope
can provide an unobstructed view of the planets around nearby stars. A
recent breakthrough in the apodization of the Fresnel equation allows
occulters of practical size and distance to be built and cleanly reveal
Earth-like planets at distances in excess of 10 parsecs.
