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…
Visible-Light High-Contrast Polarimetry with MagAO-X: Characterization and Initial Results
Miles Lucas, Laird Close, Jared R. Males +22
MagAO-X is a visible-light extreme adaptive optics instrument on the 6.5 meter Magellan Clay Telescope, recently upgraded to enable high-contrast polarimetric differential imaging…
The spectral energy distribution of YSES 1 b and its circumplanetary disc
Michiel Darcis, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Tomas Stolker +18
Context. Direct imaging enables the characterisation of substellar companions on wide orbits. These objects provide a testbed for our formation theories; therefore, it is important…
Phase-Induced Amplitude Apodization Complex Mask Coronagraph (PIAACMC) on-sky demonstration with MagAO-X
Elena Tonucci, Sebastiaan Haffert, Warren Foster +18
Advancing the technological development of small inner working angle (IWA) coronagraphs is essential to enabling high-contrast imaging of temperate exoplanets with future extremely…
Discovery of H Emission from a Protoplanet Candidate Around the Young Star 2MASS J16120668-3010270 with MagAO-X
Jialin Li, Laird M. Close, Feng Long +32
2MASS J16120668-3010270 (hereafter 2MJ1612) is a young M0 star that hosts a protoplanetary disk in the Upper Scorpious star-forming region. Recent ALMA observations of 2MJ1612 show…
