Pre-shipment optical characterization of the SCALES instrument
Isabel J. Kain, Reni Kupke, Daren Dillon +31
The Slicer Combined with an Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) instrument is a 1-5 micron imager and 2-5 micron integral field spectrograph, currently being comm…
NIRC2-Pol: First Light of Near-Infrared Polarimetry on Keck II
Briley L. Lewis, Manxuan Zhang, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +21
NIRC2, the Near Infrared Camera 2 on the Keck II telescope, was recently upgraded with a new suite of polarimetric observing modes. The new polarimetry modes (referred to as NIRC2-…
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…
On-sky capabilities and performance of the Keck All Sky Precision Adaptive Optics system
Avinash Surendran, Maxwell Service, Jacques R. Delorme +21
The Keck All Sky Precision Adaptive optics (KAPA) project upgrades the Keck I adaptive optics system to enable laser tomography using a four laser guide star (LGS) asterism. KAPA i…
Technical description and performance of the phase II version of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer
Nemanja Jovanovic, Daniel Echeverri, Jacques-Robert Delorme +46
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is a series of upgrades for the Keck II Adaptive Optics (AO) system and the NIRSPEC spectrograph to enable diffraction limited, high…
Asteroseismology of the Nearby K-Dwarf Draconis using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Yaguang Li +76
Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging due to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here, we present the asteroseismic detection…
An Earth-sized Planet on the Verge of Tidal Disruption
Fei Dai, Andrew W. Howard, Samuel Halverson +95
TOI-6255~b (GJ 4256) is an Earth-sized planet (1.079 ) with an orbital period of only 5.7 hours. With the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) and CARMEN…
Daytime calibration and testing of the Keck All sky Precision Adaptive Optics Tomography System
Avinash Surendran, Jacques R. Delorme, Carlos M. Correia +12
The development of the Keck All sky Precision Adaptive optics (KAPA) project was initiated in September 2018 to upgrade the Keck I adaptive optics (AO) system to enable laser tomog…
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer: A dedicated single-mode fiber injection unit for high resolution exoplanet spectroscopy
Jacques-Robert Delorme, Nemanja Jovanovic, Daniel Echeverri +28
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is a purpose-built instrument to demonstrate new technological and instrumental concepts initially developed for the exoplanet direc…
Detection and Bulk Properties of the HR 8799 Planets with High Resolution Spectroscopy
Jason J. Wang, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Evan Morris +49
Using the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC), we obtained high-resolution (R35,000) -band spectra of the four planets orbiting HR 8799. We clearly detected \water…
Enhanced high-dispersion coronagraphy with KPIC phase II: design, assembly and status of sub-modules
N. Jovanovic, B. Calvin, M. Porter +17
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) is a purpose-built instrument for high-dispersion coronagraphy in the K and L bands on Keck. This instrument will provide the first…
