DESCRIPTION:<p>Exoplanet science is ultimately expected to routinely study 
 the atmospheres of rocky temperate planets. Not only are such measurements 
 technically challenging\, but their correct interpretation is also strongly
  reliant on the context provided by the next 15 years of research. In this 
 talk I will show how current facilities from space and from the ground have
  opened up the sample-level study of gaseous exoplanets\, with a particular
  focus on high-resolution\, cross correlation spectroscopy (HRCCS). I will 
 review the pivotal role of HRCCS when applied to observations with the upco
 ming Extremely Large Telescope (ELT)\, and discuss possible strategies to a
 ccount for the nuisance of the Earth's atmosphere and of the host star at s
 uch unprecedented level of signal-to-noise ratio. These future ELT observat
 ions will allow us to understand how planets tend to form and evolve\, what
  shapes the transition between rocky and gaseous exoplanets\, and what is t
 he fraction of rocky planets actually retaining an atmosphere over geologic
 al times. Only by answering these broader questions will we be able to quan
 tify the likelihood of any putative measurement of biological markers with 
 the space missions of the 2040s\, ultimately placing our Earth and the Sola
 r System in context.</p>\n\nImported from https://www.physik.uni-heidelberg
