The Multiconjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations (MORFEO) is a first-generation adaptive optics module for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), designed to deliver a d…
Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek
Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94
We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…
High-contrast spectroscopy with the new VLT/ERIS instrument: Molecular maps and radial velocity of the gas giant AF Lep b
Jean Hayoz, Markus Johannes Bonse, Felix Dannert +66
The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) is the new Adaptive-Optics (AO) assisted Infrared instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Its refurbished Integral Fiel…
Membrane Space Telescope: Active Surface Control with Radiative Adaptive Optics
S. Rabien, L. Busoni, C. Del Vecchio +2
Sensitivity and resolution of space telescopes are directly related to the size of the primary mirror. Enabling such future extremely large space telescopes or even arrays of those…
GPI 2.0: Exploring The Impact of Different Readout Modes on the Wavefront Sensor's EMCCD
Clarissa R. Do Ó, Saavidra Perera, Jérôme Maire +26
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a high contrast imaging instrument that aims to detect and characterize extrasolar planets. GPI is being upgraded to GPI 2.0, with several subsyst…
Strategy for sensing petal mode in presence of AO residual turbulence with pyramid wavefront sensor
Nicolas Levraud, Vincent Chambouleyron, Jean François Sauvage +9
With the Extremely Large Telescope-generation telescopes come new challenges. The complexity of these telescopes' pupil creates new problems for Adaptive Optics. In particular, the…
CiaoCiao WFS: sensing phase discontinuities at the ELT
G. Carlà, L. Busoni, S. Esposito +2
The upcoming extremely large telescopes will have to deal with the so-called ''pupil fragmentation'' effect: for what concerns the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the presence of…
SOUL at LBT: commissioning results, science and future
Enrico Pinna, Fabio Rossi, Guido Agapito +27
The SOUL systems at the Large Bincoular Telescope can be seen such as precursor for the ELT SCAO systems, combining together key technologies such as EMCCD, Pyramid WFS and adaptiv…
MORFEO enters final design phase
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Alessandro Ballone +81
MORFEO (Multi-conjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations, formerly MAORY), the MCAO system for the ELT, will provide diffraction-limited optical quality to the large fiel…
Current status of PAPYRUS : the pyramid based adaptive optics system at LAM/OHP
Muslimov E., Levraud N., Chambouleyron V. +23
The Provence Adaptive optics Pyramid Run System (PAPYRUS) is a pyramid-based Adaptive Optics (AO) system that will be installed at the Coude focus of the 1.52m telescope (T152) at…
A new calibration strategy for adaptive telescopes with pyramid WFS
C. T. Heritier, S. Esposito, T. Fusco +7
Several telescopes include large Deformable Mirrors (DM) located directly inside the telescope. These adaptive telescopes trigger new constraints for the calibration of the Adaptiv…
