Data-driven subspace predictive control of adaptive optics for high-contrast imaging
Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +11
The search for exoplanets is pushing adaptive optics systems on ground-based telescopes to their limits. One of the major limitations at small angular separations, exactly where ex…
Modeling coronagraphic extreme wavefront control systems for high contrast imaging in ground and space telescope missions
Jennifer Lumbres, Jared Males, Ewan Douglas +17
The challenges of high contrast imaging (HCI) for detecting exoplanets for both ground and space applications can be met with extreme adaptive optics (ExAO), a high-order adaptive…
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…
Characterization of deformable mirrors for the MagAO-X project
Kyle Van Gorkom, Kelsey L. Miller, Jared R. Males +4
The MagAO-X instrument is an upgrade of the Magellan AO system that will introduce extreme adaptive optics capabilities for high-contrast imaging at visible and near-infrared wavel…
Real-time estimation and correction of quasi-static aberrations in ground-based high contrast imaging systems with high frame-rates
Alexander T. Rodack, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon +3
The success of ground-based, high contrast imaging for the detection of exoplanets in part depends on the ability to differentiate between quasi-static speckles caused by aberratio…
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.…
