Real-time experimental demonstrations of a photonic lantern wavefront sensor
Jonathan W. Lin, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +12
The direct imaging of an Earth-like exoplanet will require sub-nanometric wavefront control across large light-collecting apertures, to reject host starlight and detect the faint p…
Spectroastrometry and Imaging Science with Photonic Lanterns on Extremely Large Telescopes
Yoo Jung Kim, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Jonathan Lin +11
Photonic lanterns (PLs) are tapered waveguides that gradually transition from a multi-mode fiber geometry to a bundle of single-mode fibers. In astronomical applications, PLs can e…
Nonlinear wavefront reconstruction from a pyramid sensor using neural networks
Alison P. Wong, Barnaby R. M. Norris, Vincent Deo +7
The pyramid wavefront sensor (PyWFS) has become increasingly popular to use in adaptive optics (AO) systems due to its high sensitivity. The main drawback of the PyWFS is that it i…
Planetary companions orbiting the M dwarfs GJ 724 and GJ 3988. A CARMENES and IRD collaboration
P. Gorrini, J. Kemmer, S. Dreizler +36
We report the discovery of two exoplanets around the M dwarfs GJ 724 and GJ 3988 using the radial velocity (RV) method. We obtained a total of 153 3.5 m Calar Alto/CARMENES spectra…
The path to detecting extraterrestrial life with astrophotonics
Nemanja Jovanovic, Yinzi Xin, Michael P. Fitzgerald +20
Astrophysical research into exoplanets has delivered thousands of confirmed planets orbiting distant stars. These planets span a wide ranges of size and composition, with diversity…
Photonic spectro-interferometry with SCExAO/FIRST at the Subaru Telescope: towards H-alpha imaging of protoplanets
Sébastien Vievard, Manon Lallement, Elsa Huby +27
FIRST is a post Extreme Adaptive-Optics (ExAO) spectro-interferometer operating in the Visible (600-800 nm, R~400). Its exquisite angular resolution (a sensitivity analysis of on-s…
Single-aperture spectro-interferometry in the visible at the Subaru telescope with FIRST: First on-sky demonstration on Keho'oea (α Lyrae) and Hokulei (α Aurigae)
Sébastien Vievard, Elsa Huby, Sylvestre Lacour +20
FIRST is a spectro-interferometer combining, in the visible, the techniques of aperture masking and spatial filtering thanks to single-mode fibers. This instrument aims to deliver…
From Dust to Nanodust: Resolving Circumstellar Dust from the Colliding-Wind Binary Wolf-Rayet (WR) 140
Ryan M. Lau, Jason Wang, Matthew J. Hankins +17
Wolf-Rayet (WR) 140 is the archetypal periodic dust-forming colliding-wind binary that hosts a carbon-rich WR (WC) star and an O-star companion with an orbital period of 7.93 years…
A spectroscopic thermometer: individual vibrational band spectroscopy with the example of OH in the atmosphere of WASP-33b
Sam O. M. Wright, Stevanus K. Nugroho, Matteo Brogi +26
Individual vibrational band spectroscopy presents an opportunity to examine exoplanet atmospheres in detail by distinguishing where the vibrational state populations of molecules d…
Direct Imaging Explorations for Companions around Mid-Late M Stars from the Subaru/IRD Strategic Program
Taichi Uyama, Charles Beichman, Masayuki Kuzuhara +32
The Subaru telescope is currently performing a strategic program (SSP) using the high-precision near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer IRD to search for exoplanets around nearby mid/late…
An Earth-sized Planet around an M5 Dwarf Star at 22 pc
Teruyuki Hirano, Fei Dai, John H. Livingston +46
We report on the discovery of an Earth-sized transiting planet () in a day orbit around K2-415 (EPIC 211414619), an M5V star at 22 pc. The pla…
