Finding extraterrestrial life using ground-based high-dispersion spectroscopy

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Simon Hodgkin .

The cancellation of both the Terrestrial Planet Finder and Darwin missions means that it is unlikely that a dedicated space telescope to search for biomarker gases in exoplanet atmospheres will be launched within the next 25 years. In this talk I will advocate that ground-based telescopes provide a strong alternative for finding biomarkers in exoplanet atmospheres through high-resolution transit observations. I will review some of the exciting result we have recently obtained on hot-Jupiter atmospheres, and will show what can be done with the planned E-ELT.
