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…
Impact of segmented deformable mirrors on high-contrast testbeds for exoplanet imaging with future large space telescopes: contrast stability assessment on the HiCAT bench
Benjamin Buralli, Mamadou N'Diaye, Raphaël Pourcelot +13
We investigate the stability of a segmented deformable mirror (DM) on high-contrast testbeds and its impact on the images produced with coronagraphs. Segmented apertures are promis…
Characterizing Earth analogs may require a moderate or high-resolution spectrograph
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Sarah Steiger, Corey Spohn +16
A primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to detect and measure the abundance of biosignature molecules, such as water (H2O) and oxygen (O2), in the atmosphere of…
A parameter scan of dark zone maintenance for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets using theoretical and experimental implementations
Saikrishna Manojkumar, Christine L. Page, Leonid Pogorelyuk +14
Maintaining wavefront stability while directly imaging exoplanets over long exposure times is an ongoing problem in the field of high-contrast imaging. Robust and efficient high-or…
High-contrast imager for complex aperture telescopes (HiCAT): 11. System-level demonstration of the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph with a segmented aperture in air
Rémi Soummer, Raphaël Pourcelot, Emiel H. Por +16
We present the final results of the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) on the High-contrast imager for Complex Aperture Telescopes (HiCAT) testbed, under NASA's Strategic Astro…
Mid-order wavefront control for exoplanet imaging: preliminary characterization of the segmented deformable mirror and Zernike wavefront sensor on HiCAT
B. Buralli, M. N'Diaye, R. Pourcelot +13
We study a mid-order wavefront sensor (MOWFS) to address fine cophasing errors in exoplanet imaging with future large segmented aperture space telescopes. Observing Earth analogs a…
