Laboratory demonstration of low order wavefront control using light reflected off the vortex coronagraph
Clarissa R. Do Ó, Kane Sjoberg, Luke Lamitina +4
The Astro2020 Decadal Survey identified exoplanet imaging as a high priority for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), which must image and characterize exo-Earths at contrasts o…
Wavefront Error Recovery and Companion Identification with the James Webb Space Telescope
Matthew De Furio, Marie Ygouf, Alexandra Greenbaum +8
The James Webb Space Telescope is orders of magnitude more sensitive than any other facility across the near to mid-infrared wavelengths. Many approved programs take advantage of i…
orbitize! v3: Orbit fitting for the High-contrast Imaging Community
Sarah Blunt, Jason Jinfei Wang, Lea Hirsch +18
orbitize! is a package for Bayesian modeling of the orbital parameters of resolved binary objects from time series measurements. It was developed with the needs of the high-contras…
Implicit Electric Field Conjugation Through a Single-mode Fiber
Joshua Liberman, Jorge Llop-Sayson, Arielle Bertrou-Cantou +4
Connecting a coronagraph instrument to a spectrograph via a single-mode optical fiber is a promising technique for characterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets with ground and spac…
Benefits of adding radial phase dimples on scalar coronagraph phase masks
Niyati Desai, Dimitri Mawet, Eugene Serabyn +4
Current scalar coronagraph focal plane mask designs are performance-limited by chromaticity. We investigate the effects of adding central Roddier and dual zone phase dimples to sca…
Laboratory demonstration of the wrapped staircase scalar vortex coronagraph
Niyati Desai, Garreth J. Ruane, Jorge D. Llop-Sayson +5
Of the over 5000 exoplanets that have been detected, only about a dozen have ever been directly imaged. Earth-like exoplanets are on the order of 10 billion times fainter than thei…
Topological Designs for Scalar Vortex Coronagraphs
Niyati Desai, Jorge Llop-Sayson, Arielle Bertrou-Cantou +4
The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars for future flagship missions requires coronagraphs to achieve contrasts on the order of 1e-10 at c…
High Contrast Demonstrations of Novel Scalar Vortex Coronagraph Designs at the High Contrast Spectroscopy Testbed
Niyati Desai, Jorge Llop-Sayson, Nemanja Jovanovic +4
For direct imaging of exoplanets, Scalar Vortex Coronagraphs (SVCs) are an attractive alternative to the popularly used Vector Vortex Coronagraphs (VVCs). This is primarily because…
New method to achieve the proper polarization state for a vector vortex coronagraph
Jorge Llop-Sayson, Cole Kappel, Nemanja Jovanovic +1
The vector vortex coronagraph (VVC) performance in the laboratory and in ground-based observatories has earned it a spot on the NASA mission concepts HabEx and LUVOIR. The VVC indu…
High-contrast Demonstration of an Apodized Vortex Coronagraph
Jorge Llop-Sayson, Garreth Ruane, Dimitri Mawet +7
High contrast imaging is the primary path to the direct detection and characterization of Earth-like planets around solar-type stars; a cleverly designed internal coronagraph suppr…
