Non-common path aberration compensation and a dark hole loop with a pyramid adaptive optics system: Application to SAXO+

C. Goulas, R. Galicher, F. Vidal +16

In ground-based high-contrast instruments, non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) limit detection performance, as they are unseen by the adaptive optics (AO) wavefront sensor but impa…

The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction

Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14

The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…

SAXO+ upgrade : second stage AO system end-to-end numerical simulations

Charles Goulas, Fabrice Vidal, Raphaël Galicher +14

SAXO+ is a proposed upgrade to SAXO, the AO system of the SPHERE instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope. It will improve the capabilities of the instrument for the detection an…

High contrast imaging wavefront sensor referencing from coronagraphic images

Nour Skaf, Olivier Guyon, Anthony Boccaletti +11

A key challenge of high contrast imaging (HCI) is to differentiate a speckle from an exoplanet signal. The sources of speckles are a combination of atmospheric residuals and aberra…

On-sky validation of image-based adaptive optics wavefront sensor referencing

Nour Skaf, Olivier Guyon, Eric Gendron +14

Differentiating between an exoplanet signal and residual speckle noise is a key challenge in high-contrast imaging. Speckles are due to a combination of fast, slow and static wavef…

A correlation-locking adaptive filtering technique for minimum variance integral control in adaptive optics

Vincent Deo, Éric Gendron, Fabrice Vidal +6

We propose the Correlation-Locking Optimization SchEme (CLOSE), a real-time adaptive filtering technique for adaptive optics (AO) systems controlled with integrators. CLOSE leverag…

SPHERE+: Imaging young Jupiters down to the snowline

A. Boccaletti, G. Chauvin, D. Mouillet +130

SPHERE (Beuzit et al,. 2019) has now been in operation at the VLT for more than 5 years, demonstrating a high level of performance. SPHERE has produced outstanding results using a…

Numerical estimation of wavefront error breakdown in adaptive optics

Florian Ferreira, Eric Gendron, Gérard Rousset +1

Adaptive optics (AO) system performance is improved using post-processing techniques, such as point spread function (PSF) deconvolution. The PSF estimation involves characterizatio…
