MIRAC-5 on the MMT with MAPS: annular groove phase mask N-band coronagraphic upgrade
Alyssa L. Miller, Jarron Leisenring, Michael Meyer +15
We describe the coronagraphic upgrade underway for the Mid-Infrared Array Camera-5 (MIRAC-5) to be used with the 6.5-m MMT telescope utilizing the new MMT Adaptive optics exoPlanet…
Commissioning of the MIRAC-5 Mid-Infrared Instrument on the MMT
Rory Bowens, Jarron Leisenring, Michael R. Meyer +11
We present results from commissioning observations of the mid-IR instrument, MIRAC-5, on the 6.5-m MMT telescope. MIRAC-5 is a novel ground-based instrument that utilizes a state-o…
MAUVE: An Ultraviolet Astrophysics Probe Mission Concept
Mayura Balakrishnan, Rory Bowens, Fernando Cruz Aguirre +18
We present the mission concept "Mission to Analyze the UltraViolet universE" (MAUVE), a wide-field spectrometer and imager conceived during the inaugural NASA Astrophysics Mission…
Characterization of a Longwave HgCdTe GeoSnap Detector
Rory Bowens, Michael R. Meyer, Taylor L. Tobin +6
New longwave HgCdTe detectors are critical to upcoming plans for ground-based infrared astronomy. These detectors, with fast-readouts and deep well-depths, will be key components o…
Evaluating the GeoSnap 13-m Cut-Off HgCdTe Detector for mid-IR ground-based astronomy
Jarron M. Leisenring, Dani Atkinson, Rory Bowens +13
New mid-infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10-m sensors for space- and ground-b…
Longterm Stability of Planetary Systems formed from a Transitional Disk
Rory Bowens, Andrew Shannon, Rebekah Dawson +1
Transitional disks are protoplanetary disks with large and deep central holes in the gas, possibly carved by young planets. Dong, R., & Dawson, R. 2016, ApJ, 825, 7 simulated syste…
MIRAC-5: A ground-based mid-IR instrumentwith the potential to detect ammonia in gas giants
R. Bowens, J. Leisenring, M. R. Meyer +12
We present the fifth incarnation of the Mid-Infrared Array Camera (MIRAC-5) instrument which will use a new GeoSnap (3 - 13 microns) detector. Advances in adaptive optics (AO) syst…
Exoplanets with ELT-METIS I: Estimating the direct imaging exoplanet yield around stars within 6.5 parsecs
Rory Bowens, Michael R. Meyer, C. Delacroix +9
Direct imaging is a powerful exoplanet discovery technique that is complementary to other techniques and offers great promise in the era of 30 meter class telescopes. Space-based t…
The Michigan Infrared Test Thermal ELT N-band (MITTEN) Cryostat
R. Bowens, E. Viges, M. R. Meyer +5
We introduce the Michigan Infrared Test Thermal ELT N-band (MITTEN) Cryostat, a new facility for testing infrared detectors with a focus on mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths (8-13 mic…
