Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets with a 1.5-m space coronagraph

Several small space coronagraphs have been proposed to characterize cold exoplanets in reflected light. Studies have mainly focused on technical feasibility because of the huge star/planet flux ratio to achieve in the close-in stellar environment (108-1010 at 0.2'). However, the main interest o...
