摘要

Direct detection cmd spectral characterization of exoplanets is one of the most exciting but also one of the most challenging areas in current astronomy. In this framework, the SPHERE (Spectro-Polarimetry High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch) instrument is currently being designed and should equip one of the four 8-m telescopes of the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope (ESO VLT) at Paranal (Chile). The main scientific objective of SPHERE is to detect photons from giant exoplanets (between 1 and 20 Jupiter masses). Once detected, a preliminary characterization will be made of the planet's atmosphere (clouds, dust content, methane, water absorption, etc). In addition, a large number of stars (typically a few hundred) have to be surveyed in order to get meaningful statistical data. Such extremely challenging scientific objectives call for a relatively complex high-contrast instru-ment integrating coronagraphic and smart imaging capabilities that are essential for achieving the high contrast (close to the optical axis) required for detecting extrasolar planets directly from the ground.
