Adaptive optics performance of a simulated coronagraph instrument on a large, segmented space telescope in steady state
Axel Potier, Garreth Ruane, Christopher C. Stark +9
Directly imaging Earth-like exoplanets (``exoEarths'') with a coronagraph instrument on a space telescope requires a stable wavefront with optical path differences limited to tens…
Contrast performance of an 8m off-axis, segmented space telescope equipped with an adaptive optics system
Axel Potier, Garreth Ruane, Kiarash Tajdaran +9
The Astro2020 decadal survey recommended an infrared, optical, ultra-violet (IR/O/UV) telescope with a 6~m inscribed diameter and equipped with a coronagraph instrument to di…
LUVOIR-ECLIPS closed-loop adaptive optics performance and contrast predictions
Axel Potier, Garreth Ruane, Pin Chen +8
One of the primary science goals of the Large UV/Optical/Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) mission concept is to detect and characterize Earth-like exoplanets orbiting nearby stars with d…
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…
Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C) Flight Baseline Concept
Marie Levine, D. Lisman, S. Shaklan +52
The Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C) mission presented here is an existence proof for a flagship-class internal coronagraph space mission capable of detecting and char…
