Behind the Mask: can HARMONI@ELT detect biosignatures in the reflected light of Proxima b?

Proxima b is a rocky exoplanet in the habitable zone of the nearest star system and a key test case in the search for extraterrestrial life. Here, we investigate the characterization of a potential Earth-like atmosphere around Proxima b in reflected light via molecule mapping, combining high resolut...
