Active correction of aperture discontinuities - optimized stroke minimization I: a new adaptive interaction matrix algorithm
J. Mazoyer, L. Pueyo, M. N'Diaye +7
Future searches for biomarkers on habitable exoplanets will rely on telescope instruments that achieve extremely high contrast at small planet-to-star angular separations. Coronagr…
The First High-Contrast Images of X-Ray Binaries: Detection of Candidate Companions in the Cas Analog RX J1744.72713
M. Prasow-Ãmond, J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, K. Fogarty +16
X-ray binaries provide exceptional laboratories for understanding the physics of matter under the most extreme conditions. Until recently, there were few, if any, observational con…
The First High-Contrast Images of Near High-Mass X-Ray Binaries with Keck/NIRC2
M. Prasow-Ãmond, J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, K. Fogarty +10
Although the study of X-ray binaries has led to major breakthroughs in high-energy astrophysics, their circumbinary environment at scales of 100--10,000 astronomical units ha…
The VLT-MUSE and ALMA view of the MACS 1931.8-2635 brightest cluster galaxy
B. I. Ciocan, B. L. Ziegler, M. Verdugo +4
We reveal the importance of ongoing in-situ star formation in the Brightest Cluster Galaxy in the massive cool-core CLASH cluster MACS 1931.8-2635 at z=0.35. Using a multi-waveleng…
Review of high-contrast imaging systems for current and future ground- and space-based telescopes I. Coronagraph design methods and optical performance metrics
G. Ruane, A. Riggs, J. Mazoyer +29
The Optimal Optical Coronagraph (OOC) Workshop at the Lorentz Center in September 2017 in Leiden, the Netherlands gathered a diverse group of 25 researchers working on exoplanet in…
Complex diffuse radio emission in the merging PLANCK ESZ cluster Abell 3411
R. J. van Weeren, K. Fogarty, C. Jones +7
We present VLA radio and Chandra X-ray observations of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 3411. For the cluster, we find an overall temperature of 6.4 keV and an X-ray luminosity of…
