Enabling Quantitative Polarimetry for Keck/NIRC2: Preliminary Mueller Matrix Model Calibration

Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +27

The Keck/NIRC2 infrared imager was upgraded in 2025 with dual-beam polarimetric observing modes spanning approximately 1.1--4.1 microns (JHKL' bands). We present a preliminary JHK…

A Sulfur-Rich Atmosphere for the Young Jupiter Analog AF Lep b Reveals Significant Solid Accretion

Jerry W. Xuan, William O. Balmer, Yayaati Chachan +25

AF Lep b is one of the closest analogs to Jupiter in terms of mass () and semi-major axis ( AU) amenable to spectroscopic characterization. We present JWST/NIR…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

Investigating the differential limb coupling effect for diffraction-limited spectrographs with PARVI

Andrea S. J. Lin, Ashley D. Baker, Samuel Halverson +5

A promising new architecture for extreme-precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrographs, hunting for small-amplitude stellar Doppler shifts induced by orbiting planets, is to build…

Laboratory demonstration of low order wavefront control using light reflected off the vortex coronagraph

Clarissa R. Do Ó, Kane Sjoberg, Luke Lamitina +4

The paper reports the first laboratory demonstration of a low‑order wavefront sensing and tip‑tilt control loop using light reflected from a vector vortex coronagraph, achieving su…
