The final design of GMagAO-X: the wavefront sensing and control (WFS&C) architecture of GMagAO-X

Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +10

The Giant Magellan Adaptive Optics eXtreme (GMagAO-X) instrument has now been selected as an official part of the Giant Magellan Telescope's (GMT) instrument suite. The instrument…

Quantum-optimal instruments for high-contrast imaging with multi-plane light converters

Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Yinzi Xin, Rico Landman

Spatial Mode Demultiplexers (SPADE) are devices that split an incoming wavefront into a particular set of electric field modes. SPADEs have been shown to be quantum-optimal for man…

The Photonic Lantern Nuller: from concept to laboratory and on-sky demonstrations

Yinzi Xin, Nemanja Jovanovic, Dimitri Mawet +18

This thesis work presents the conceptual design and experimental characterization of the Photonic Lantern Nuller instrument, which uses a multimode-to-single-mode demultiplexing wa…

Optimal mode-sorting coronagraphy: limits of single-moded measurements for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Yinzi Xin, Sebastiaan Haffert, Rico Landman

Conventional coronagraph architectures struggle to reach the theoretical limit of exoplanet detection at close working angles. Spatial mode-sorting is capable of reaching the theor…

Atmospheric characterization of six ultra-hot Jupiters from -band high-resolution spectroscopy

Luke Finnerty, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +27

We present new Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopic detections of three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) in the band: WASP-189b (), MASCARA-1b (), and…

Quantum-optimal coronagraphy with spatial mode sorting for direct exoplanet observations

Yinzi Xin, Sebastiaan Haffert, Yoo Jung Kim +1

Conventional coronagraphs struggle to reach the theoretical limit of exoplanet detection at close separations to the star, particularly when the telescope has a complex aperture or…
