JWST telemetry combined with active coronagraphy: raw contrast predictions for exoplanet imaging with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Raphaël Pourcelot, Laurent A. Pueyo, Emiel H. Por +6
We provide a quantification of the technological gap between the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) for the goal of exo-Earth imaging arou…
Design and simulation of a photonic lantern-inspired astrophotonic chip for spectral sensing
Avi Patel, Kevin A. Bundy, Aditya Sengupta +10
Compact astrophotonic sensors can trade general-purpose spectral coverage for task-specific wavelength discrimination in a small integrated footprint. Developed with the Mazin Lab…
Calibration of MEMS DM actuator gains using a Zernike wavefront sensor on the HiCAT testbed and implications for Habitable Worlds Observatory operations
Sarah Steiger, Raphaël Pourcelot, Rémi Soummer +4
Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key component of coronagraph instruments performing adaptive optics on the ground, and for future space observatories such as HWO and Roman CGI. Here…
First high-contrast results on THD2 testbed after infrastructure upgrade
Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz, Rémi Soummer +17
We present the first scientific results delivered by the upgraded THD2 high-contrast imaging testbed. We report two advances enabled by its improved stability and broadband perform…
Enhanced wavefront sensing for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument: Gaussian probes and compact model validation
Lukas Delaye, Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz +10
The Coronagraph Instrument on the Roman Space Telescope will be the first space-based system to demonstrate closed-loop focal-plane wavefront sensing and control, a key step toward…
CATKit2-HCI: a collaborative framework for advancing high-contrast coronagraph testbeds
Rémi Soummer, Iva Laginja, Emiel H. Por +19
High-contrast exoplanet imaging requires dedicated laboratory testbeds for the development and validation of coronagraph architectures, wavefront sensing and control methods, calib…
