A Candidate Innermost Fifth Planet In the HR 8799 System Revealed By JWST NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry
Jayke S. Nguyen, Louis Desdoigts, Alexandra Z. Greenbaum +20
We detect a candidate fifth planet in the HR 8799 system, directly imaged with the JWST/NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI). The detected source lies just above a con…
Spectral Selection in Sphere-Constrained Flows Generated by Polynomials of the Dirichlet Laplacian
Javed Hussain
Let be a bounded smooth domain and let be the positive Dirichlet Laplacian on . For a real polynomial with positive leading coefficient, w…
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…
ADORA: a differentiable optical modeling and astrometric retrieval framework for SHERA
Dylan McKeithen, Stuart Shaklan, Gautam Vasisht +4
Searching for Habitable Exoplanets with Relative Astrometry (SHERA) is a proposed Small Explorer mission concept designed to measure the separation of nearby binary stars at microa…
Searching for Habitable Exoplanets with Relative Astrometry (SHERA). I. The Case for Searching for Planets in Binary Star Systems
Jessie L. Christiansen, Eric E. Mamajek, Gautam Vasisht +14
Discovering Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars was identified as a priority science goal of the Astronomy 2020 Decadal Survey. It is confounded by many factors, one of whic…
Achieving efficient broadband spatial filtering for LIFE: status and plan
G. Garreau, T. Birbacher, L. Desdoigts +8
Nulling interferometry is one of the most promising techniques that is envisioned for the imaging and characterization of exoplanets in the mid-infrared for ground-based and space-…
Tolerancing the PIAA-ZWFS: a practical and robust wavefront sensor that approaches the fundamental sensitivity limit
Adam K. Taras, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Louis Desdoigts
High-contrast imaging demands extremely sensitive wavefront sensing to correct atmospheric effects and surface errors. While the limits of the sensitivity of a wavefront sensor are…
Differentiable design of the PIAA-ZWFS: a flexible wavefront sensor that approaches the fundamental limit
A. K. Taras, S. Y. Haffert, L. Desdoigts
Extreme adaptive optics (AO) is necessary for high contrast astronomy at scales of the habitable zone of nearby systems. We seek to evaluate wavefront sensors that approach fundame…
Calibration of an Analog-to-Digital Conversion Nonlinearity in JWST/NIRISS
Shashank Dholakia, Shishir Dholakia, Benjamin J. S. Pope +4
We quantify an unusual flux-dependent systematic which is periodic in raw counts in flight data from the James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph…
Mitigating effects of telescope jitter through differentiable forward-modeling
Max Charles, Louis Desdoigts, Benjamin Pope +3
Instabilities in telescope pointing, commonly referred to as jitter, introduce image degradation that can compromise the accuracy of critical scientific observables. This work pres…
The TOLIMAN mission: A low-cost space telescope for high precision narrow-angle astrometry
Peter Tuthill, Christopher Betters, Max Charles +29
The TOLIMAN project is engaged with the construction, launch and operation of a low-cost space telescope of unorthodox optical design. Its primary science goal targets an exhaustiv…

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) hosts a non-redundant Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI) in its Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) instrument, providi…
Differentiable Optics with dLux I: Deep calibration of Flat Field and Phase Retrieval with Automatic Differentiation
Louis Desdoigts, Benjamin Pope, Jordan Dennis +1
The sensitivity limits of space telescopes are imposed by uncalibrated errors in the point spread function, photon-noise, background light, and detector sensitivity. These are typi…
Differentiable Optics with dLux II: Optical Design Maximising Fisher Information
Louis Desdoigts, Benjamin Pope, Michael Gully-Santiago +1
The design of astronomical hardware operating at the diffraction limit requires optimisation of physical optical simulations of the instrument with respect to desired figures of me…
