Barcelona, September 14, Spectroscopic characterization Spectra at higher resolution than in standard set-up for planet detection will allow a more detailed characterization (for planets detected with high enough S/N) Some science goals: identification of spectral features, determination of physical parameters (temperature, gravity, chemical composition), cloud process and their variation with time (e.g. for planets in eccentric orbits) R=3000, R=20000 considered See Poster by Claudi et al.

Barcelona, September 14, Planet radial velocity Earth semi-amplitude: 30 km/s Useful to constrain the planetary orbit if only visual measurements available, planet-star mass ratio even based on small time baseline Detection of binary planets, if any Several lines at high resolution, resolved sky lines to be used as wavelength reference.
Barcelona, September 14, Planet rotational velocity Jupiter: V rot :12.6 km/s, Saturn: 9.9 km/s, Neptune: 2.7 km/s Field T dwarfs typically rotate faster (30-50 km/s: McLean et al., Zapaterio Osorio et al. ) R=20,000 corresponds to FWHM=15 km/s, R=3000 to 100 km/s Possibility of measuring rotational velocity similar to that of Jupiter Very interesting if coupled with photometric rotational modulation ( Planet radius independent of luminosity; inclination of rotational axis over orbital plane)

Barcelona, September 14, Potential overlap with PLATO PLATO: ESA Cosmic Vison proposed mission for the search of transiting planets Planets down to about 10 M Earth around K and M dwarfs with V= (bright end of PLATO) can be detected also with EPICS For K dwarfs, planets in the habitable zone are detectable Availability of planet spectrum from EPICS and planet radius from PLATO will be relevant for the physical study of the planets. For G and F stars (and K and M dwarfs as well) planets at separation larger than that accessible to PLATO can be detected, allowing to study the outer planetary system of PLATO targets See talk by Claudi et al.
