Flight masks of the Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
A. J. Eldorado Riggs, Vanessa P. Bailey, Dwight Moody +25
Over the past two decades, thousands of confirmed exoplanets have been detected. The next major challenge is to characterize these other worlds and their stellar systems. Much info…
Flight mask designs of the Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
A J Eldorado Riggs, Dwight Moody, Jessica Gersh-Range +17
Over the past two decades, thousands of confirmed exoplanets have been detected; the next major challenge is to characterize these other worlds and their stellar systems. Much info…
Optical Verification Experiments of Sub-scale Starshades
Anthony Harness, Stuart Shaklan, Phillip Willems +7
Starshades are a leading technology to enable the detection and spectroscopic characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. In this paper we report on optical experiments of sub-scale…
Fast Linearized Coronagraph Optimizer (FALCO) IV. Coronagraph design survey for obstructed and segmented apertures
G. Ruane, A. Riggs, C. T. Coker +6
Coronagraph instruments on future space telescopes will enable the direct detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars for the first time. The ques…
Enhanced atomic layer etching of native aluminum oxide for ultraviolet optical applications
John Hennessy, Christopher S. Moore, Kunjithapatham Balasubramanian +3
We report on the development and application of an atomic layer etching (ALE) procedure based on alternating exposures of trimethylaluminum and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (HF) imp…
Demonstration of high contrast with an obscured aperture with the WFIRST-AFTA shaped pupil coronagraph
Eric Cady, Camilo Mejia Prada, Xin An +10
The coronagraph instrument on the WFIRST-AFTA mission study has two coronagraphic architectures, shaped pupil and hybrid Lyot, which may be interchanged for use in different observ…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
