Phase II of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer: system-level laboratory characterization and preliminary on-sky commissioning
Daniel Echeverri, Nemanja Jovanovic, Jacques-Robert Delorme +35
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is a series of upgrades for the Keck II Adaptive Optics (AO) system and the NIRSPEC spectrograph to enable diffraction-limited, high…
The development of HISPEC for Keck and MODHIS for TMT: science cases and predicted sensitivities
Quinn M. Konopacky, Ashley D. Baker, Dimitri Mawet +72
HISPEC is a new, high-resolution near-infrared spectrograph being designed for the W.M. Keck II telescope. By offering single-shot, R=100,000 between 0.98 - 2.5 um, HISPEC will ena…
Observing Exoplanets with High-Dispersion Coronagraphy. II. Demonstration of an Active Single-Mode Fiber Injection Unit
Dimitri Mawet, Garreth Ruane, Wenhao Xuan +12
High-dispersion coronagraphy (HDC) optimally combines high contrast imaging techniques such as adaptive optics/wavefront control plus coronagraphy to high spectral resolution spect…
Initial results from a laboratory emulation of weak gravitational lensing measurements
Suresh Seshadri, Charles Shapiro, Timothy Goodsall +5
Weak gravitational lensing observations are a key science driver for the NASA Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). To validate the performance of the WFIRST infrared dete…
Precision Projector Laboratory: Detector Characterization with an Astronomical Emulation Testbed
Charles Shapiro, Roger Smith, Eric Huff +7
As astronomical observations from space benefit from improved sensitivity, the effectiveness of scientific programs is becoming limited by systematics that often originate in poorl…
The Keck Cosmic Web Imager Integral Field Spectrograph
Patrick Morrissey, Matuesz Matuszewski, D. Christopher Martin +36
We report on the design and performance of the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), a general purpose optical integral field spectrograph that has been installed at the Nasmyth port of t…
