METIS high-contrast imaging simulations: From instrument modelling to science readiness
Gilles Orban de Xivry, Olivier Absil, Iain Hammond +9
The Mid-infrared Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) instrument, expected to see first light in early 2030, aims to detect and characterise exoplanets a…
Maximising the mid-infrared high-contrast performance of ELT/METIS despite water vapour seeing
Olivier Absil, Gilles Orban de Xivry, Prashant Pathak +7
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) will be equipped with a SCAO system delivering Strehl ratios above 90% at L band (3.5 - 4.1 um) and close to 99% at N band (8 -…
Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek
Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94
We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…
Advancing European High-Contrast Imaging R&D Towards the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Iva Laginja, Óscar Carrión-González, Romain Laugier +31
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will enable a transformative leap in the direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. For this, NASA is focusing on early in…
The VLT/ERIS vortex coronagraph: design, pointing control, and on-sky performance
Gilles Orban de Xivry, Olivier Absil, Robert J. De Rosa +14
The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) is the new near-infrared instrument at the VLT-UT4. ERIS replaces and extends the observational capabilities formerly provide…
Vortex coronagraph: revisiting the phase retrieval properties via Zernike analysis
Gilles Orban de Xivry, Olivier Absil
High contrast imaging (HCI) is fundamentally limited by wavefront aberrations, and the ability to perform wavefront sensing from focal plane images is key to reach the full potenti…
