PeX 1. Multi-spectral expansion of residual speckles for planet detection
Nicholas Devaney, Ãric Thiébaut
The detection of exoplanets in coronographic images is severely limited by residual starlight speckles. Dedicated post-processing can drastically reduce this "stellar leakage" and…
MAORY: A Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY for ELT
Paolo Ciliegi, Guido Agapito, Matteo Aliverti +73
MAORY is the adaptive optics module for ELT providing two gravity invariant ports with the same optical quality for two different client instruments. It enable high angular resolut…
Performance Analysis of Cone Detection Algorithms
Letizia Mariotti, Nicholas Devaney
Many algorithms have been proposed to help clinicians evaluate cone density and spacing, as these may be related to the onset of retinal diseases. However, there has been no rigoro…
MORFEO enters final design phase
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Alessandro Ballone +81
MORFEO (Multi-conjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations, formerly MAORY), the MCAO system for the ELT, will provide diffraction-limited optical quality to the large fiel…
MORFEO: Advancing Towards Final Design
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Marco Bonaglia +106
The paper reports on the design progress of MORFEO, the first‑generation adaptive‑optics module for the Extremely Large Telescope, describing its dual MCAO/SCAO operation, key hard…
