Description:
In this concept study, we are targeting to build a new instrument to sequentially observe exoplanet atmospheres and their parents stellar spectra over a significant time in NUV and FUV. The Compact Homodyne Astrophysics Spectrometer for Exoplanets (CHASE) offers integrated spectra over a wide field -of-view (FOV~40arcsec) in high spectral resolution (R〉10(exp 5)) in a miniaturized architecture using no (or a small 〈 1m) primary mirror. CHASEs wide FOV is compatible with the relaxed pointing requirements of current CubeSats and SmallSats which makes it readily qualifiable for space in a compact format and have the potential to enable major scientific breakthroughs.
