XPipeline: Starlight subtraction at scale for MagAO-X
Joseph D. Long, Jared R. Males, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +15
MagAO-X is an extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) instrument for the Magellan Clay 6.5-meter telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Its high spatial and temporal resolution can…
A Novel Hexpyramid Pupil Slicer for an ExAO Parallel DM for the Giant Magellan Telescope
Maggie Kautz, Laird M. Close, Alex Hedglen +3
The 25.4m Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will be amongst the first in a new series of segmented extremely large telescopes (ELTs). The 25.4 m pupil is segmented into seven 8.4 m ci…
Advanced wavefront sensing and control demonstration with MagAO-X
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Kyle Van Gorkom +13
The search for exoplanets is pushing adaptive optics systems on ground-based telescopes to their limits. Currently, we are limited by two sources of noise: the temporal control err…
Visible extreme adaptive optics for GMagAO-X with the triple-stage AO architecture (TSAO)
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +3
The Extremely Large Telescopes will require hundreds of actuators across the pupil for high Strehl in the visible. We envision a triple-stage AO (TSAO) system for GMT/GMagAO-X to a…
The Optical and Mechanical Design for the 21,000 Actuator ExAO System for the Giant Magellan Telescope: GMagAO-X
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Olivier Durney +9
GMagAO-X is the near first light ExAO coronagraphic instrument for the 25.4m GMT. It is designed for a slot on the folded port of the GMT. To meet the strict ExAO fitting and servo…
The conceptual design of GMagAO-X: visible wavelength high contrast imaging with GMT
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +10
We present the conceptual design of GMagAO-X, an extreme adaptive optics system for the 25 m Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). We are developing GMagAO-X to be available at or shortl…
MagAO-X: current status and plans for Phase II
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Haffert +15
We present a status update for MagAO-X, a 2000 actuator, 3.6 kHz adaptive optics and coronagraph system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope. MagAO-X is optimized for high contras…
The Visible Integral-field Spectrograph eXtreme (VIS-X): high-resolution spectroscopy with MagAO-X
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +9
MagAO-X system is a new adaptive optics for the Magellan Clay 6.5m telescope. MagAO-X has been designed to provide extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) performance in the visible. VIS-X…
The Giant Magellan Telescope high contrast adaptive optics phasing testbed (p-HCAT): lab tests of segment/petal phasing with a pyramid wavefront sensor and a holographic dispersed fringe sensor (HDFS) in turbulence
Alexander D. Hedglen, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +14
The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) design consists of seven circular 8.4-m diameter mirror segments that are separated by large > 30 cm gaps, creating the possibility of fluctuatio…
The Holographic Dispersed Fringe Sensors (HDFS): phasing the Giant Magellan Telescope
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Laird M. Close, Alexander D. Hedglen +14
The next generation of Giant Segmented Mirror Telescopes (GSMT) will have large gaps between the segments either caused by the shadow of the mechanical structure of the secondary m…
Towards on-sky adaptive optics control using reinforcement learning
J. Nousiainen, C. Rajani, M. Kasper +15
The direct imaging of potentially habitable Exoplanets is one prime science case for the next generation of high contrast imaging instruments on ground-based extremely large telesc…
