Scientific paper

By combining a 4 meter class optical/UV telescope with an occultor, we can build a mission capable of not only detecting and characterizing extrasolar planets but carrying out a broad program of astrophysics. I will present highlights from the science program of our mission concept study. The The THEIA telescope has several key instruments: an optical/UV coronagraph, a wide field camera operating in the optical and UV and a UV spectrograph that will probe the interstellar and intergalactic medium.
