Stars at High Spatial Resolution
Kenneth G. Carpenter, Gerard van Belle, Alexander Brown +19
We summarize some of the compelling new scientific opportunities for understanding stars and stellar systems that can be enabled by sub-milliarcsec (sub-mas) angular resolution, UV…
Stellar Imager (SI): developing and testing a predictive dynamo model for the Sun by imaging other stars
Kenneth G. Carpenter, Carolus J. Schrijver, Margarita Karovska +39
The Stellar Imager mission concept is a space-based UV/Optical interferometer designed to resolve surface magnetic activity and subsurface structure and flows of a population of Su…
Mass Transport Processes and their Roles in the Formation, Structure, and Evolution of Stars and Stellar Systems
Kenneth G. Carpenter, Margarita Karovska, Carolus J. Schrijver +15
We summarize some of the compelling new scientific opportunities for understanding stars and stellar systems that can be enabled by sub-mas angular resolution, UV/Optical spectral…
Simulations of coronagraphy with a dynamic hologram for the direct detection of exo-planets
Davide Ricci, Hervé Le Coroller, Antoine Labeyrie +1
In a previous paper, we discussed an original solution to improve the performances of coronagraphs by adding, in the optical scheme, an adaptive hologram removing most of the resid…
Astronomy from the Moon: From Exoplanets to Cosmology in Visible Light and Beyond
Jean Schneider, Pierre Kervella, Antoine Labeyrie
We look at what astronomy from the Moon might be like in the visible over the next few decades. The Moon offers the possibility of installing large telescopes or interferometers wi…
Towards Laser-Guide-Stars for Multi-Aperture Interferometry: an application to the Hypertelescope
Paul D. Nuñez, Antoine Labeyrie, Pierre Riaud
Optical interferometry has been successful at achieving milliarcsecond resolution on bright stars. Imaging performance can improve greatly by increasing the number of baselines, wh…
