SHIMM as an atmospheric profiler on the Nickel Telescope
Ollie Jackson, Maaike A. M. van Kooten, Saavidra Perera +2
Optimal atmospheric conditions are beneficial for detecting exoplanets via high contrast imaging (HCI), as speckles from adaptive optics' (AO's) residuals can make it difficult to…
GPI 2.0: Performance Evaluation of the Wavefront Sensor's EMCCD
Clarissa R. Do Ó, Saavidra Perera, Jérôme Maire +26
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a high contrast imaging instrument that aims to detect and characterize extrasolar planets. GPI is being upgraded to GPI 2.0, with several subsyst…
SHIMM: A Versatile Seeing Monitor for Astronomy
Saavidra Perera, Richard W. Wilson, Tim Butterley +3
Characterisation of atmospheric optical turbulence is crucial for the design and operation of modern ground-based optical telescopes. In particular, the effective application of ad…
Estimating effective wind speed from Gemini Planet Imager's adaptive optics data using covariance maps
Daniel M. Levinstein, Saavidra Perera, Quinn M. Konopacky +4
The Earth's turbulent atmosphere results in speckled and blurred images of astronomical objects when observed by ground based visible and near-infrared telescopes. Adaptive optics…
P-REx II. Off-line Performance on VLTI/GRAVITY
Saavidra Perera, Jörg-Uwe Pott, Julien Woillez +4
For sensitive optical interferometry, it is crucial to control the evolution of the optical path difference (OPD) of the wavefront between the individual telescopes of the array. T…
The HOSTS survey for exozodiacal dust: Observational results from the complete survey
Steve Ertel, Denis Defrère, Philip M. Hinz +43
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) enables nulling interferometric observations across the N band (8 to 13 um) to suppress a star's bright light and probe for fain…
