Comparing realtime optical gain measurement and methods on MagAO-X

Eden McEwen, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon +20

A lingering technical challenge for pyramid wavefront sensors (PyWFS) is their change in response between calibration and correction residuals, a quantity known as optical gain (OG…

Closed-loop Atmospheric Dispersion Correction for High-Contrast Imaging with MagAO-X

Katie Twitchell, Sebastiaan Haffert, Jared R. Males +17

Incoming starlight is refracted as it enters Earth's atmosphere from the vacuum of space. The wavelength-dependence of atmospheric refraction causes elongation of the broadband PSF…

windsoCC: reconstructing the wind-driven halo in MagAO-X images using wavefront sensor telemetry

Jay K. Kueny, Jared R. Males, Alycia J. Weinberger +16

The wind-driven halo (WDH) is a persistent, low spatial frequency noise artifact that arises due to the servo-lag error inherent to all adaptive optics (AO) instruments. Spatial fi…

Sensor fusion on MagAO-X: real time vibration control using accelerometers

Parker T. Johnson, Jared R. Males, Povilas Palunas +16

Mechanical vibrations are a significant source of residual wavefront error (WFE) in adaptive optics (AO) systems, limiting the performance of high-contrast imaging instruments. We…

The eXtreme Wavefront Control Toolkit: High-Contrast Imaging Instrument Control for Ground and Space-Based Coronagraphs

Jared R. Males, Joseph D. Long, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +16

We present the eXtreme Wavefront Control Toolkit (XWCTk) instrument control software system developed for the MagAO-X extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) instrument. The XWCTk is built…

Freezing the speckles: focal plane wavefront sensing with the spatially-clipped self-coherent camera

Joshua Liberman, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males +8

The next generation of Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) and the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) require active speckle suppression to directly image exo-Earths. Focal plane wav…
