Approaches to lowering the cost of large space telescopes
Ewan S Douglas, Greg Aldering, Greg W. Allan +26
New development approaches, including launch vehicles and advances in sensors, computing, and software, have lowered the cost of entry into space, and have enabled a revolution in…
Microfabricated pinholes for high contrast imaging testbeds
Emory L. Jenkins, Kyle Van Gorkom, Kevin Derby +2
In order to reach contrast ratios of and beyond, coronagraph testbeds need source optics that reliably emulate nearly-point-like starlight, with microfabricated pinholes…
Simulating the efficacy of the implicit-electric-field-conjugation algorithm for the Roman Coronagraph with noise
Kian Milani, Ewan Douglas, Sebastiaan Haffert +1
The Roman Coronagraph is expected to perform its high-order wavefront sensing and control (HOWFSC) with a ground-in-the-loop scheme due to the computational complexity of the Elect…
Estimation of polarization aberrations and their effect on the coronagraphic performance for future space telescopes
Ramya M Anche, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jaren N Ashcraft +5
A major goal of proposed future space observatories, such as the Habitable World Observatory, is to directly image and characterize Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars to sear…
Laboratory demonstration of the triple-grating vector vortex coronagraph
David S. Doelman, Mireille Ouellet, Axel Potier +5
The future Habitable Worlds Observatory aims to characterize the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets around solar-type stars. The vector vortex coronagraph (VVC) is a main candidate to…
Chasing rainbows and ocean glints: Inner working angle constraints for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Sophia R. Vaughan, Timothy D. Gebhard, Kimberly Bott +41
NASA is engaged in planning for a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HabWorlds), a coronagraphic space mission to detect rocky planets in habitable zones and establish their habitabilit…
Polarization aberrations in next-generation giant segmented mirror telescopes (GSMTs) I. Effect on the coronagraphic performance
Ramya M. Anche, Jaren N. Ashcraft, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +8
Next-generation large segmented mirror telescopes are expected to perform direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like rocky planets, which requires contrast limits of $10^{-7…
