Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research
ID: spectro-polarimetric-high-contrast-exoplanet-research
Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) is a sophisticated astronomical instrument designed for direct imaging and characterization of exoplanets around nearby stars. Developed for use with telescopes like the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, SPHERE combines several advanced techniques to improve the detection and analysis of faint objects, such as planets, in the vicinity of much brighter stars.
