NIRCam Yells at Cloud: JWST MIRI Imaging Can Directly Detect Exoplanets of the Same Temperature, Mass, Age, and Orbital Separation as Saturn and Jupiter

NIRCam Yells at Cloud: JWST MIRI Imaging Can Directly Detect Exoplanets of the Same Temperature, Mass, Age, and Orbital Separation as Saturn and Jupiter

NIRCam and MIRI coronagraphy has successfully demonstrated the ability to directly image young sub-Jupiter-mass and mature gas giant exoplanets. However, these modes struggle to reach the sensitivities needed to find the population of cold giant planets that are similar to our own solar system’s gia...
