Detector technology could help NASA find Earth-like exoplanets

News - Astronomy News

(Rochester Institute of Technology) Rochester Institute of Technology scientist Don Figer is developing detector technology funded by NASA's Technology Development for Exoplanet Missions Program and designed to directly image and characterize exoplanets. The two-year funded project will result in a detector array that can withstand the radiation in space, count individual photons or light pulses -- thereby eliminating noise that could obscure the faint signal -- and characterize exoplanets in one-third the time it takes using existing methods.
