Abstract
We present a compact expression for a coherent vertex operator in superstring theory, in the Neveu-Schwarz sector, that can be easily extended to the Ramond sector by supersymmetric transformations in target space. We give also an explicit construction for the Ramond coherent vertex operator. These constructions provide the use of the supersymmetric version of the Del Giudice-Di Vecchia-Fubini operators and Operator Product Expansion techniques, displaying manifest BRST invariance and after normal ordering also manifest covariance. As a consistency check we compute tree level three-point scattering amplitudes involving Neveu-Schwarz coherent vertex operators in different superghost pictures. Extending these results to the closed superstring, we give the expressions of the coherent vertex operators in the case of type IIA and IIB theories.
