A new calibration strategy for adaptive telescopes with pyramid WFS
C. T. Heritier, S. Esposito, T. Fusco +7
Several telescopes include large Deformable Mirrors (DM) located directly inside the telescope. These adaptive telescopes trigger new constraints for the calibration of the Adaptiv…
The HOSTS Survey for Exozodiacal Dust: Preliminary results and future prospects
S. Ertel, G. M. Kennedy, D. Defrère +40
[abridged] The presence of large amounts of dust in the habitable zones of nearby stars is a significant obstacle for future exo-Earth imaging missions. We executed an N band nulli…
Data processing on simulated data for SHARK-NIR
E. Carolo, D. Vassallo, J. Farinato +22
A robust post processing technique is mandatory to analyse the coronagraphic high contrast imaging data. Angular Differential Imaging (ADI) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) a…
A virtual coronagraphic test bench for SHARK-NIR, the second-generation high contrast imager for the Large Binocular Telescope
D. Vassallo, E. Carolo, J. Farinato +21
In this article, we present a simulator conceived for the conceptual study of an AO-fed high-contrast coronagraphic imager. The simulator implements physical optics: a complex dist…
SHARK-NIR, the coronagraphic camera for LBT, moving toward construction
Jacopo Farinato, Francesca Bacciotti, Carlo Baffa +37
SHARK-NIR is one of the two coronagraphic instruments proposed for the Large Binocular Telescope. Together with SHARK-VIS (performing coronagraphic imaging in the visible domain),…
Status of MagAO and review of astronomical science with visible light adaptive optics
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katie M. Morzinski +10
We review astronomical results in the visible (lambda <1 micron) with adaptive optics and note the status the MagAO system and the recent upgrade to visible camera's Simultaneous/S…
