Forward modelling coronagraphic images with a fully physical, differentiable digital twin of MagAO-X: first laboratory results
Matthijs Mars, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Louis Desdoigts +10
Post-processing of high contrast imaging data relies on an accurate model of the stellar point spread function (PSF). Current techniques build this model from the science images th…
Digging dark holes on-sky with the Self-Coherent Camera: Preliminary results
Elena Tonucci, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males +17
Current high-contrast imaging instruments are limited by wavefront errors originating from non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) due, for example, to manufacturing errors in the opti…
Sub-diffraction-limited coronagraphic imaging with nano-printed PIAACMC phase masks
Elena Tonucci, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Warren B. Foster +22
Imaging Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone of their host star is among the main science objectives of future ground-based and space-based observatories. However, the extre…
The final design of GMagAO-X: the wavefront sensing and control (WFS&C) architecture of GMagAO-X
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +10
The Giant Magellan Adaptive Optics eXtreme (GMagAO-X) instrument has now been selected as an official part of the Giant Magellan Telescope's (GMT) instrument suite. The instrument…
