Combining spectroscopy and wavefront control at deep contrast with photonic lanterns

Mona El Morsy, Olivier Guyon, Barnaby Norris +7

HWO aims to directly image objects orbiting Sun-like stars, using a 6-m telescope capable of high-contrast imaging () and spectroscopy to search for biosignatures in plan…

A Roman Coronagraph Spectroscopic Mode Demonstration

Thayne Currie, Brianna Lacy, Yiting Li +5

We propose 730 nm high-contrast spectroscopic observations of selected self-luminous directly-imaged planets as a key test of the Roman Coronagraph's planet characterization capabi…

Decisively Demonstrating Roman CGI's TTR5 Requirement by Reimaging a Newly-Discovered Brown Dwarf Orbiting a Bright Accelerating Star

Thayne Currie, Mona El Morsy, Brianna Lacy +3

We propose Roman Coronagraph project HLC/575 nm observations of a newly-discovered brown dwarf (HIP 71618 B) from the Subaru/OASIS survey of young accelerating stars, which is supp…

The HIP 54515 b Superjovian Planet as an Early, Critical Look at the Roman Coronagraph's Performance in the Faint Target Star, Small IWA Limit

Thayne Currie, Yiting Li, Brianna Lacy +4

The Roman Coronagraph's capabilities in the faint star, small IWA limit has enormous scientific (programmatic) impacts. Testing its performance in this limit provides a first look…

Demonstrating Improved Contrast on the Roman Coronagraph with Spatial Linear Dark Field Control

Thayne Currie, Olivier Guyon, Ruslan Belikov +2

The baseline contrast floor from the Roman Coronagraph's High-Order Wavefront Sensing and Control strategy likely degrades over the course of time, requiring periodic recalibration…

A Striking First Impression: CGI Commissioning Observations of the AB Aurigae Protoplanetary System

Thayne Currie, Kellen Lawson, Erica Dykes +1

For one of the first set of Roman Coronagraph project images, we propose to target AB Aurigae. AB Aurigae is a complex and visually stunning system, surrounded by a gas rich protop…

Calibration of residual aberrations in exoplanet imagers with large numbers of degrees of freedom

Raphaël Pourcelot, Arthur Vigan, Kjetil Dohlen +14

Imaging faint objects, such as exoplanets or disks, around nearby stars is extremely challenging because host star images are dominated by the telescope diffraction pattern. Using…

Direct characterization of young giant exoplanets at high spectral resolution by coupling SPHERE and CRIRES+

G. P. P. L. Otten, A. Vigan, E. Muslimov +19

Studies of atmospheres of directly imaged exoplanets with high-resolution spectrographs have shown that their characterization is predominantly limited by noise on the stellar halo…
