dc.description.abstractCool, extrasolar gas giants similar to Jupiter and Saturn in our own Solar System should be detectable by virtue of the light they reflect in the optical and near-infrared with the next generation of Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) equipped with adaptive optics systems. Broad band imaging or very low-resolution spectra should then enable the characterization of the orbit, mass, atmospheric scattering properties, and presence of large rings in these gas giant analogues.
