A locking clamp that enables high thermal and vibrational stability for kinematic optical mounts
Maggie Kautz, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males
One of the main pursuits of the MagAO-X project is imaging planets around nearby stars with the direct detection method utilizing an extreme AO system and a coronagraph and a large…
Focal plane wavefront sensing and control strategies for high-contrast imaging on the MagAO-X instrument
Kelsey Miller, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon +14
The Magellan extreme adaptive optics (MagAO-X) instrument is a new extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) system designed for operation in the visible to near-IR which will deliver high co…
Design of the MagAO-X Pyramid Wavefront Sensor
Lauren H. Schatz, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +11
Adaptive optics systems correct atmospheric turbulence in real time. Most adaptive optics systems used routinely correct in the near infrared, at wavelengths greater than 1 micron.…
MagAO-X: project status and first laboratory results
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Kelsey Miller +32
MagAO-X is an entirely new "extreme" adaptive optics system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope, funded by the NSF MRI program starting in Sep 2016. The key science goal of MagAO…
Optical and mechanical design of the extreme AO coronagraphic instrument MagAO-X
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Olivier Durney +9
Here we review the current optical mechanical design of MagAO-X. The project is post-PDR and has finished the design phase. The design presented here is the baseline to which all t…
