Observational Models for Extrasolar Planets
Abstract Within the 10 years, next generation telescopes such as TPF and will be capable of directly observation Extrasolar planets and collecting spectrography data from them. The theoretical framework for interpreting that data needs a strong foundation based on comparisons to the solar system planets. In this presentation I discuss preliminary observations performed at Hiroshima Observatory and plans for future Antarctic observations, which together will create a planet observation library for comparison with Extrasolar planet simulations and observations.
