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…
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…
Image reconstruction with the JWST Interferometer
Max Charles, Louis Desdoigts, Benjamin Pope +7
Flying on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) above Earth's turbulent atmosphere, the Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI) on the NIRISS instrument is the highest-resoluti…
AMIGO: a Data-Driven Calibration of the JWST Interferometer
Louis Desdoigts, Benjamin Pope, Max Charles +8
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…
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope -- IV. Aperture Masking Interferometry
Anand Sivaramakrishnan, Peter Tuthill, James P. Lloyd +36
The James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST-NIRISS) flies a 7-hole non-redundant mask (NRM), the first such interferometer in space, opera…
Phase Retrieval and Design with Automatic Differentiation
Alison Wong, Benjamin Pope, Louis Desdoigts +3
The principal limitation in many areas of astronomy, especially for directly imaging exoplanets, arises from instability in the point spread function (PSF) delivered by the telesco…
Periodic Astrometric Signal Recovery through Convolutional Autoencoders
Michele Delli Veneri, Louis Desdoigts, Morgan A. Schmitz +8
Astrometric detection involves a precise measurement of stellar positions, and is widely regarded as the leading concept presently ready to find earth-mass planets in temperate orb…
