Serendipitous observation of a white dwarf companion to a JWST/MIRI coronagraphic calibrator

Alexander Venner, Mary Anne Limbach, Mathilde Mâlin +3

We present the unplanned detection of a white dwarf companion to the star HD 218261 in mid-infrared (10-16 m) observations with JWST/MIRI. This star was observed as a calibrato…

Challenge of direct imaging of exoplanets within structures: disentangling real signal from point source from background light

Jialin Li, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +19

The high contrast and spatial resolution requirements for directly imaging exoplanets requires effective coordination of wavefront control, coronagraphy, observation techniques, an…

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…
