Active correction of aperture discontinuities (ACAD) for space telescope pupils: a parametic analysis

Johan Mazoyer, Laurent Pueyo, Colin Norman +6

As the performance of coronagraphs improves, the achievable contrast is more and more dependent of the shape of the pupil. The future generation of space and ground based coronagra…
