The future looks dark: improving high contrast imaging with hyper-parameter optimization for data-driven predictive wavefront control

J. Fowler, Rebecca Jensen-Clem, Maaike A. M. van Kooten +2

The direct imaging and characterization of exoplanets requires extreme adaptive optics (XAO), achieving exquisite wavefront correction (upwards of 90 Strehl) over a narrow fiel…

Keck Primary Mirror Closed-Loop Segment Control using a Vector-Zernike Wavefront Sensor

Maissa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +17

We present the first on-sky segmented primary mirror closed-loop piston control using a Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) installed on the Keck II telescope. Segment co-phasing error…

SHIMM as an atmospheric profiler on the Nickel Telescope

Ollie Jackson, Maaike A. M. van Kooten, Saavidra Perera +2

Optimal atmospheric conditions are beneficial for detecting exoplanets via high contrast imaging (HCI), as speckles from adaptive optics' (AO's) residuals can make it difficult to…

A Wolf 359 in sheep's clothing: Hunting for substellar companions in the fifth-closest system using combined high-contrast imaging and radial velocity analysis

Rachel Bowens-Rubin, Joseph M. Akana Murphy, Philip M. Hinz +16

Wolf 359 (CN Leo, GJ 406, Gaia DR3 3864972938605115520) is a low-mass star in the fifth-closest neighboring system (2.41 pc). Because of its relative youth and proximity, Wolf 359…

Visible extreme adaptive optics on extremely large telescopes: Towards detecting oxygen in Proxima Centauri b and analogs

J. Fowler, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Maaike A. M. van Kooten +38

Looking to the future of exo-Earth imaging from the ground, core technology developments are required in visible extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) to enable the observation of atmosph…

Chasing rainbows and ocean glints: Inner working angle constraints for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Sophia R. Vaughan, Timothy D. Gebhard, Kimberly Bott +41

NASA is engaged in planning for a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HabWorlds), a coronagraphic space mission to detect rocky planets in habitable zones and establish their habitabilit…
