Diversity among other worlds: characterization of exoplanets by direct detection
J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, A. Aylward +34
The physical characterization of exoplanets will require to take spectra at several orbital positions. For that purpose, a direct imaging capability is necessary. Direct imaging re…
Super Earth Explorer: A Coronagraphic Off-Axis Space Telescope
J. Schneider, A. Boccaletti, D. Mawet +12
The Super-Earth Explorer is an Off-Axis Space Telescope (SEE-COAST) designed for high contrast imaging. Its scientific objective is to make the physico-chemical characterization of…
Wavefront error correction and Earth-like planet detection by Self-Coherent Camera in space
R. Galicher, P. Baudoz, G. Rousset
In the context of exoplanet detection, the performance of coronagraphs is limited by wavefront errors. To efficiently correct for these aberrations with a deformable mirror, it is…
Theory and laboratory tests of the multi-stage phase mask coronagraph
P. Baudoz, R. Galicher, J. Baudrand +1
A large number of coronagraphs have been proposed to overcome the ratio that exists between the star and its planet. The planet finder of the Extremely Large Telescope, which is ca…
Coronagraphic near-IR photometry of AB Dor C
A. Boccaletti, G. Chauvin, P. Baudoz +1
Observations of low-mass companions for which the dynamical masses are well constrained help to improve the calibration of evolutionary models. Such observations thereby provide mo…
Expected Performance of a Self-Coherent Camera
R. Galicher, P. Baudoz
Residual wavefront errors in optical elements limit the performance of coronagraphs. To improve their efficiency, different types of devices have been proposed to correct or calibr…
Optimization of Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph for ELTs
P. Martinez, A. Boccaletti, M. Kasper +2
We study the optimization of the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) in the context of exoplanet imaging with ground-based telescopes. The APLC combines an apodization in the pu…
Fundamental limitations on Earth-like planet detection with Extremely Large Telescopes
C. Cavarroc, A. Boccaletti, P. Baudoz +2
We analyse the fundamental limitations for the detection of extraterrestrial planets with Extremely Large Telescopes. For this task, a coronagraphic device combined to a very high…
High Dynamic Range and the Search for Planets
A. T. Tokunaga, C. Ftaclas, J. R. Kuhn +1
General arguments for optimized coronagraphy in the search for planets are presented. First, off-axis telescopes provide the best telescopic platforms for use with coronagraphy, an…
Hokupa'a-Gemini Discovery of Two Ultracool Companions to the Young Star HD 130948
D. Potter, E. L. Martín, M. C. Cushing +4
We report the discovery of two faint ultracool companions to the nearby (d~17.9 pc) young G2V star HD 130948 (HR 5534, HIP 72567) using the Hokupa'a adaptive optics instrument moun…
