Characterizing deformable mirrors for the MagAO-X instrument
Kyle Van Gorkom, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +11
The MagAO-X instrument is a new extreme adaptive optics system for high-contrast imaging at visible and near-infrared wavelengths on the Magellan Clay Telescope. A central componen…
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…
SCExAO, an instrument with a dual purpose: perform cutting-edge science and develop new technologies
Julien Lozi, Olivier Guyon, Nemanja Jovanovic +31
The Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument is an extremely modular high-contrast instrument installed on the Subaru telescope in Hawaii. SCExAO has a dual…
