On-sky, real-time optical gain calibration on MagAO-X using incoherent speckles
Eden A. McEwen, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon +15
The next generation of extreme adaptive optics (AO) must be calibrated exceptionally well to achieve the desired contrast for ground-based direct imaging exoplanet targets. Current…
MagAO-X Phase II Upgrades: Implementation and First On-Sky Results of a New Post-AO 1000 Actuator Deformable Mirror
Jay K. Kueny, Kyle Van Gorkom, Maggie Kautz +13
MagAO-X is the extreme coronagraphic adaptive optics (AO) instrument for the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay telescope and is currently undergoing a comprehensive batch of upgrades. One in…
High-Contrast Imaging at First-Light of the GMT: The Preliminary Design of GMagAO-X
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +15
We present the preliminary design of GMagAO-X, the first-light high-contrast imager planned for the Giant Magellan Telescope. GMagAO-X will realize the revolutionary increase in sp…
More data than you want, less data than you need: machine learning approaches to starlight subtraction with MagAO-X
Joseph D. Long, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +17
High-contrast imaging data analysis depends on removing residual starlight from the host star to reveal planets and disks. Most observers do this with principal components analysis…
MagAO-X: Commissioning Results and Status of Ongoing Upgrades
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +20
MagAO-X is the coronagraphic extreme adaptive optics system for the 6.5 m Magellan Clay Telescope. We report the results of commissioning the first phase of MagAO-X. Components now…
MagAO-X: current status and plans for Phase II
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Haffert +15
We present a status update for MagAO-X, a 2000 actuator, 3.6 kHz adaptive optics and coronagraph system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope. MagAO-X is optimized for high contras…
