| Abstract : | Future large telescopes will allow us to directly image and take spectra of planets in their reflected light. For example, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will use the Planetary System Imager (PSI-Blue) to do this. We use high-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the Sun to simulate spatially resolved spectra of Saturn and its rings and compare them to spatially resolved spectra from Subaru High dispersion spectra. We also simulate spatially integrated spectra that are expected from the TMT-PSI data and explore the feasibility of detecting exo-rings in the reflected light. We also retrieve the atmospheric spectra by removing the reflected host star spectra for various spectral resolutions. We propose doing this for other solar system planets to create a high-resolution template spectra. |
