TL;DR: In 2014, the Science Definition Team (SDT) of the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission presented a design reference mission (DRM) for an implementation of WFIRST using one of the 2.4m, Hubble-quality telescopes recently made available to NASA as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical modeling of the proposed WFIRST-AFTA coronagraphs and their predicted performances
TL;DR: The WFIRST-AFTA 2.37m telescope will provide the opportunity to host a coronagraph for the imaging and spectroscopy of planets and disks in the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors increase the fidelity of these calculations substantially, adopting more realistic exoplanet demographics as input, an improved target list, and a realistic distribution of exozodi levels, and use these standards to directly compare the performance of realistic instrument designs, including the sensitivity of coronagraph contrast to stellar diameter, and adopt engineering-based throughputs and detector parameters.
