JWST telemetry combined with active coronagraphy: raw contrast predictions for exoplanet imaging with the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Raphaël Pourcelot, Laurent A. Pueyo, Emiel H. Por +6

We provide a quantification of the technological gap between the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) for the goal of exo-Earth imaging arou…

Tradeoff between segment density and IWA for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets with a large segmented space mission

Lucie Leboulleux, Raphaël Pourcelot, Laurent Pueyo +1

Imaging Earth-like exoplanets with coronagraphs on future large segmented space telescopes such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory requires contrasts down to at separat…

Calibration of MEMS DM actuator gains using a Zernike wavefront sensor on the HiCAT testbed and implications for Habitable Worlds Observatory operations

Sarah Steiger, Raphaël Pourcelot, Rémi Soummer +4

Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key component of coronagraph instruments performing adaptive optics on the ground, and for future space observatories such as HWO and Roman CGI. Here…

Segment-level thermal sensitivity analysis for exo-Earth coronagraphy with segmented space telescopes

Ananya Sahoo, Laurent Pueyo, Iva Laginja +5

Direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like planets require ultra-stable wavefronts to achieve a starlight suppression level of 100 parts per trillion (ppt) in the coronagrap…

Enhanced wavefront sensing for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument: Gaussian probes and compact model validation

Lukas Delaye, Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz +10

The Coronagraph Instrument on the Roman Space Telescope will be the first space-based system to demonstrate closed-loop focal-plane wavefront sensing and control, a key step toward…
