Real-time experimental demonstrations of a photonic lantern wavefront sensor
Jonathan W. Lin, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +12
The direct imaging of an Earth-like exoplanet will require sub-nanometric wavefront control across large light-collecting apertures, to reject host starlight and detect the faint p…
Spectroastrometry and Imaging Science with Photonic Lanterns on Extremely Large Telescopes
Yoo Jung Kim, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Jonathan Lin +11
Photonic lanterns (PLs) are tapered waveguides that gradually transition from a multi-mode fiber geometry to a bundle of single-mode fibers. In astronomical applications, PLs can e…
2023 Astrophotonics Roadmap: pathways to realizing multi-functional integrated astrophotonic instruments
Nemanja Jovanovic, Pradip Gatkine, Narsireddy Anugu +77
Photonics offer numerous functionalities that can be used to realize astrophotonic instruments. The most spectacular example to date is the ESO Gravity instrument at the Very Large…
Recovering simulated planet and disk signals using SCALES aperture masking
Mackenzie Lach, Steph Sallum, Ravinder Banyal +29
The Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) instrument is a lenslet-based integral field spectrograph that will operate at 2 to 5 microns, imagin…
Simulating medium-spectral-resolution exoplanet characterization with SCALES angular/reference differential imaging
Aditi Desai, Stephanie E. Sallum, Ravinder Banyal +30
SCALES (Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy) is a 2 - 5 micron high-contrast lenslet-based integral field spectrograph (IFS) designed to characterize…
Characterization of diamond-turned optics for SCALES
Isabel J. Kain, Phil Hinz, Marius Doetz +12
High-contrast imaging has been used to discover and characterize dozens of exoplanets to date. The primary limiting performance factor for these instruments is contrast, the ratio…
High Angular Resolution Imaging of the V892 Tau Binary System: A New Circumprimary Disk Detection and Updated Orbital Constraints
Christina Vides, Steph Sallum, Josh Eisner +2
We present a direct imaging study of V892 Tau, a young Herbig Ae/Be star with a close-in stellar companion and circumbinary disk. Our observations consist of images acquired via Ke…
The Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES): driving science cases and expected outcomes
Steph Sallum, Andrew Skemer, Deno Stelter +34
The Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) is a m, high-contrast integral field spectrograph (IFS) currently being built for Keck Observa…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems III: Aperture Masking Interferometric Observations of the star HIP 65426 at 3.8 um
Shrishmoy Ray, Steph Sallum, Sasha Hinkley +121
We present aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of the star HIP 65426 at as a part of the JWST Direct Imaging Early Release Science (ERS) program obtai…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems IV: NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry Performance and Lessons Learned
