Its purpose is to image and characterize long-period extrasolar planets and circumstellar disks in the visible (450-900 nm) at a spectral resolution of about 40 using both spectroscopy and polarimetry. By 2020/2022, present and near-term instruments will have found several tens of planets that SPICES will be able to observe and study in detail. Equipped with a 1.5 m telescope, SPICES can preferentially access exoplanets located at several AUs (0.5-10 AU) from nearby stars (<25 pc) with masses ranging from a few Jupiter masses to Super Earths (∼2 Earth radii, ∼10 M<SUB>⊕</SUB>) as well as circumstellar disks as faint as a few times the zodiacal light in the Solar System.STAMPAenArticle10.1007/s10686-012-9290-52-s2.0-84866927948000309230600008https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10686-012-9290-5https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/848669279482012ExA....34..355BFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
