The Vector Vortex Coronagraph: Laboratory Results and First Light at Palomar Observatory
D. Mawet, E. Serabyn, K. Liewer +3
High-contrast coronagraphy will be needed to image and characterize faint extra-solar planetary systems. Coronagraphy is a rapidly evolving field, and many enhanced alternatives to…
Parallactic Motion for Companion Discovery: An M-Dwarf Orbiting Alcor
Neil Zimmerman, Ben R. Oppenheimer, Sasha Hinkley +16
The A5V star Alcor has an M3-M4 dwarf companion, as evidenced by a novel astrometric technique. Imaging spectroscopy combined with adaptive optics coronagraphy allowed for the dete…
Optical Vectorial Vortex Coronagraphs using Liquid Crystal Polymers: theory, manufacturing and laboratory demonstration
D. Mawet, E. Serabyn, K. Liewer +4
In this paper, after briefly reviewing the theory of vectorial vortices, we describe our technological approach to generating the necessary phase helix, and report results obtained…
A Vigorous Explorer Program
Martin Elvis, Matthew Beasley, Roger Brissenden +47
Explorers have made breakthroughs in many fields of astrophysics. The science from both these missions contributed to three Nobel Prizes - Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006)…
High Contrast Imaging and Wavefront Control with a PIAA Coronagraph: Laboratory System Validation
Olivier Guyon, Eugene Pluzhnik, Frantz Martinache +5
The Phase-Induced Amplitude Apodization (PIAA) coronagraph is a high performance coronagraph concept able to work at small angular separation with little loss in throughput. We pre…
Coronagraphic Low Order Wavefront Sensor: Principle and Application to a Phase-Induced Amplitude Coronagraph
Olivier Guyon, Taro Matsuo, Roger Angel
High contrast coronagraphic imaging of the immediate surrounding of stars requires exquisite control of low-order wavefront aberrations, such as tip-tilt (pointing) and focus. We p…
Probing the anisotropies of a stochastic gravitational-wave background using a network of ground-based laser interferometers
Eric Thrane, Stefan Ballmer, Joseph D. Romano +4
We present a maximum-likelihood analysis for estimating the angular distribution of power in an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using ground-based laser interf…
The Square Kilometre Array
Joseph Lazio
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is intended as the next-generation radio telescope and will address fundamental questions in astrophysics, physics, and astrobiology. The internati…
Noise and bias in square-root compression schemes
Gary M. Bernstein, Chris Bebek, Jason Rhodes +3
We investigate data compression schemes for proposed all-sky diffraction-limited visible/NIR sky surveys aimed at the dark energy problem. We show that lossy square-root compressio…
The Carnegie Astrometric Planet Search Program
Alan P. Boss, Alycia J. Weinberger, Guillem Anglada-Escude +8
We are undertaking an astrometric search for gas giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting nearby low mass dwarf stars with the 2.5-m du Pont telescope at the Las Campanas Observator…
Pulsar science with the Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope
R. Smits, D. R. Lorimer, M. Kramer +5
With a collecting area of 70 000 m^2, the Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) will allow for great advances in pulsar astronomy. We have performed simulations to…
Antenna-coupled TES bolometer arrays for CMB polarimetry
C. L. Kuo, J. J. Bock, J. A. Bonetti +14
We describe the design and performance of polarization selective antenna-coupled TES arrays that will be used in several upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments: SPI…
Speckle Suppression Through Dual Imaging Polarimetry, and a Ground-Based Image of the HR 4796A Circumstellar Disk
Sasha Hinkley, Ben R. Oppenheimer, Remi Soummer +7
We demonstrate the versatility of a dual imaging polarimeter working in tandem with a Lyot coronagraph and Adaptive Optics to suppress the highly static speckle noise pattern--the…
A Flexible Quasioptical Input System for a Submillimeter Muliobject Spectrometer
Paul F. Goldsmith, Michael Seiffert
We present a conceptual design for the input optical system for a multi-object spectrometer operating at submillimeter wavelengths. The Mirror MOS is based on a sequence of mirrors…
A Multi-wavelength Differential Imaging Experiment for the High Contrast Imaging Testbed
Beth Biller, John Trauger, Dwight Moody +5
We discuss the results of a multi-wavelength differential imaging lab experiment with the High Contrast Imaging Testbed (HCIT) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The HCIT combines a…
The Star Formation Camera
Paul A. Scowen, Rolf Jansen, Matthew Beasley +21
The Star Formation Camera (SFC) is a wide-field (~15'x19, >280 arcmin^2), high-resolution (18x18 mas pixels) UV/optical dichroic camera designed for the Theia 4-m space-borne space…
Studies of Millimeter-Wave Atmospheric Noise Above Mauna Kea
J. Sayers, S. R. Golwala, P. A. R. Ade +12
We report measurements of the fluctuations in atmospheric emission (atmospheric noise) above Mauna Kea recorded with Bolocam at 143 and 268 GHz from the Caltech Submillimeter Obser…
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) 2006: Calibration and Flight Performance
