Scientific paper

The ExoPAG has met twice each year for the past 2 years, once in association with the Winter AAS meeting and once separately during the summer. The ExoPAG considers its main task to be helping the Exoplanet Exploration Office respond appropriately to the charges set forth by the Astro_2010 survey and thereby advance the status of exoplanet science. Most of our attention so far has been focused on laying the groundwork for a future exoplanet direct imaging flagship mission to find and characterize Earth-like planets around other stars. Ideally, we would like to fly such a mission during the 2020-2030 decade. If that becomes impossible due to budget shortfalls and cost overruns on other astronomical missions, then our fallback position will be to push for some smaller Probe-class mission to advance exoplanet science.
