Scientific paper

We present and expand a rigorous formulation of an existing framework for the simulation and assessment of the capabilities of space-borne instruments for the direct detection of extra-solar planets. We further use this framework to explore the problem of optimal timing for return visits to systems with prior detections, so as to maximize the probability of verification and good orbital characterization. A number of return timing strategies are presented, and it is shown that the best choice of strategy depends on both the target star's distance and bolometric luminosity. Simulation results are presented for probable detection candidates within a sphere of 30 parsecs of the sun.
