The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: pre-launch reference star list and impact of reference star properties on post-processing performance

Justin Hom, Schuyler G. Wolff, Jessica Gersh-Range +51

The upcoming Roman Coronagraph will be the first high-contrast instrument in space capable of high-order wavefront sensing and control technologies, a critical technology demonstra…

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…

The final design of GMagAO-X: high-contrast imaging at first-light of the GMT

Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +13

GMagAO-X will be the first-light high-contrast imager on the 25 m Giant Magellan Telescope. The driving science case for GMagAO-X is characterization of the atmospheres of nearby r…

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…
