Focus diverse phase retrieval test results on broadband continuous wavefront sensing in space telescope applications
Hyukmo Kang, Kyle Van Gorkom, Meghdoot Biswas +2
Continuous wavefront sensing benefits space observatories in on-orbit optical performance maintenance. To measure the phase of a wavefront, phase retrieval is an attractive techniq…
Challenge of direct imaging of exoplanets within structures: disentangling real signal from point source from background light
Jialin Li, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +19
The high contrast and spatial resolution requirements for directly imaging exoplanets requires effective coordination of wavefront control, coronagraphy, observation techniques, an…
On-sky, real-time optical gain calibration on MagAO-X using incoherent speckles
Eden A. McEwen, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon +15
The next generation of extreme adaptive optics (AO) must be calibrated exceptionally well to achieve the desired contrast for ground-based direct imaging exoplanet targets. Current…
MagAO-X Phase II Upgrades: Implementation and First On-Sky Results of a New Post-AO 1000 Actuator Deformable Mirror
Jay K. Kueny, Kyle Van Gorkom, Maggie Kautz +13
MagAO-X is the extreme coronagraphic adaptive optics (AO) instrument for the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay telescope and is currently undergoing a comprehensive batch of upgrades. One in…
More data than you want, less data than you need: machine learning approaches to starlight subtraction with MagAO-X
Joseph D. Long, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +17
High-contrast imaging data analysis depends on removing residual starlight from the host star to reveal planets and disks. Most observers do this with principal components analysis…
MagAO-X: Commissioning Results and Status of Ongoing Upgrades
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +20
MagAO-X is the coronagraphic extreme adaptive optics system for the 6.5 m Magellan Clay Telescope. We report the results of commissioning the first phase of MagAO-X. Components now…
The space coronagraph optical bench (SCoOB): 3. Mueller matrix polarimetry of a coronagraphic exit pupil
Jaren N. Ashcraft, Ewan S. Douglas, Ramya M. Anche +4
High-contrast imaging in the next decade aims to image exoplanets at smaller angular separations and deeper contrasts than ever before. A problem that has recently garnered attenti…
Black Silicon BRDF and Polarization for Coronagraphic Pupil Masks
Emory L. Jenkins, Ramya M. Anche, Kyle J. Van Gorkom +2
Future space observatories will likely have segmented primaries, causing diffraction effects that reduce coronagraph performance. Reflective binary pupil apodizer masks can mitigat…
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 5. End-to-end simulations of polarization aberrations
Ramya M Anche, Kyle J. Van Gorkom, Jaren N. Ashcraft +4
Polarization aberrations originating from the telescope and high-contrast imaging instrument optics introduce polarization-dependent speckles and associated errors in the image pla…
The space coronagraph optical bench (SCoOB): 4. vacuum performance of a high contrast imaging testbed
Kyle Van Gorkom, Ewan S Douglas, Kian Milani +8
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB) is a high-contrast imaging testbed built to demonstrate starlight suppression techniques at visible wavelengths in a space-like vacuum e…
Modeling and performance analysis of Implicit Electric Field Conjugation with two deformable mirrors applied to the Roman Coronagraph
Kian Milani, Ewan S. Douglas, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +1
High-order wavefront sensing and control (HOWFSC) is key to create a dark hole region within the coronagraphic image plane where high contrasts are achieved. The Roman Coronagraph…
Making the unmodulated Pyramid wavefront sensor smart. Closed-loop demonstration of neural network wavefront reconstruction with MagAO-X
Rico Landman, Sebastiaan Haffert, Jared Males +12
Almost all current and future high-contrast imaging instruments will use a Pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS) as a primary or secondary wavefront sensor. The main issue with the PWFS…
