Integrated photonic-based coronagraphic systems for future space telescopes

Niyati Desai, Lorenzo König, Emiel Por +38

The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars is a primary science motivation for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. However, the current best te…

ESCAPE project. CAPyBARA: a Roman Coronagraph simulator for post-processing methods development

Lisa Altinier, Élodie Choquet, Arthur Vigan +2

The Roman Coronagraph Instrument will be the first space facility equipped with deformable mirrors (DMs). These will lead to reach a contrast of or better in a dark hole…
