Jess A. Johnson, Amali Vaz, Manny Montoya +17
The MMT Adaptive optics exoPlanet characterization System (MAPS) is currently in its engineering phase, operating on-sky at the MMT Telescope on Mt. Hopkins in southern Arizona. Th…
High-contrast imaging at first-light of the GMT: the wavefront sensing and control architecture of GMagAO-X
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R Males, Laird M. Close +3
The Giant Magellan Adaptive Optics eXtreme (GMagAO-X) instrument is a first-light high-contrast imaging instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). GMagAO-X's broad waveleng…
High-Contrast Imaging at First-Light of the GMT: The Preliminary Design of GMagAO-X
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +15
We present the preliminary design of GMagAO-X, the first-light high-contrast imager planned for the Giant Magellan Telescope. GMagAO-X will realize the revolutionary increase in sp…
The space coronagraph optical bench (SCoOB): 4. vacuum performance of a high contrast imaging testbed
Kyle Van Gorkom, Ewan S Douglas, Kian Milani +8
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB) is a high-contrast imaging testbed built to demonstrate starlight suppression techniques at visible wavelengths in a space-like vacuum e…
