Physics

Scientific paper

Stellar coronagraphy has been an extremely active field in the last 10 to 15 years, with many new concepts having being suggested for direct imaging of exoplanets/disks from either ground-based or space telescopes. I will briefly review these concepts and show they can be grouped in wider families. I will also show that the theory behind coronagraphy is now well understood: fundamental physics allows us to set quantitative limits on how coronagraphy can help us image exoplanets, and what technical challenges need to be overcome.
