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…
