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…
Starshade Exoplanet Data Challenge
Renyu Hu, Sergi R. Hildebrandt, Mario Damiano +3
Starshade in formation flight with a space telescope is a rapidly maturing technology that would enable imaging and spectral characterization of small planets orbiting nearby stars…
Detecting and characterizing close-in exoplanets with Vortex Fiber Nulling
Daniel Echeverri, Garreth Ruane, Benjamin Calvin +8
Vortex Fiber Nulling (VFN) is an interferometric method for suppressing starlight to detect and spectroscopically characterize exoplanets. It relies on a vortex phase mask and sing…
Overview and Reassessment of Noise Budget of Starshade Exoplanet Imaging
Renyu Hu, Doug Lisman, Stuart Shaklan +3
High-contrast imaging enabled by a starshade in formation flight with a space telescope can provide a near-term pathway to search for and characterize temperate and small planets o…
Starshade formation flying I: optical sensing
Michael Bottom, Stefan Martin, Eric Cady +6
A key challenge for starshades is formation flying. To successfully image exoplanets, the telescope boresight and starshade must be aligned to ~1 m at separations of tens of thousa…
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Final Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +183
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s. For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficient…
