Rotational-Shearing-Interferometer Response for a Star-Planet System without Star Cancellation

The Rotational Shearing Interforometer has been proposed for direct detection of extra-solar planets. This interferometer cancels the star radiation using destructive interference. However, the resulting signal is too small (few photons/s for each m<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://w...
