Scientific paper

Direct observation of exoplanets is essential for understanding and characterization of the nature of exoplanets. We discuss the possibility of direct observations of exoplanets, especially Jovian planets, using the next-generation infrared space mission SPICA (Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics). SPICA is optimized for mid- and far-infrared astronomy with a 3.5 m telescope cooled to 4.5K. We plan to install a stellar coronagraph to SPICA to make the direct detection and spectroscopy of exoplanets. The target launch year of SPICA is around 2010.
