Optical alignment of contamination-sensitive Far-Ultraviolet spectrographs for Aspera SmallSat mission
Aafaque R. Khan, Erika Hamden, Haeun Chung +48
Aspera is a NASA Astrophysics Pioneers SmallSat mission designed to study diffuse OVI emission from the warm-hot phase gas in the halos of nearby galaxies. Its payload consists of…
High-Contrast Imaging at First-Light of the GMT: The Preliminary Design of GMagAO-X
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +15
We present the preliminary design of GMagAO-X, the first-light high-contrast imager planned for the Giant Magellan Telescope. GMagAO-X will realize the revolutionary increase in sp…
GMagAO-X: A First Light Coronagraphic Adaptive Optics System for the GMT
Maggie Kautz, Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close +17
GMagAO-X is a visible to NIR extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) system that will be used at first light for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). GMagAO-X is designed to deliver diffract…
The Optical and Mechanical Design for the 21,000 Actuator ExAO System for the Giant Magellan Telescope: GMagAO-X
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Olivier Durney +9
GMagAO-X is the near first light ExAO coronagraphic instrument for the 25.4m GMT. It is designed for a slot on the folded port of the GMT. To meet the strict ExAO fitting and servo…
The conceptual design of GMagAO-X: visible wavelength high contrast imaging with GMT
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +10
We present the conceptual design of GMagAO-X, an extreme adaptive optics system for the 25 m Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). We are developing GMagAO-X to be available at or shortl…
Design of the vacuum high contrast imaging testbed for CDEEP, the Coronagraphic Debris and Exoplanet Exploring Pioneer
Erin R. Maier, Ewan S. Douglas, Daewook Kim +26
The Coronagraphic Debris Exoplanet Exploring Payload (CDEEP) is a Small-Sat mission concept for high contrast imaging of circumstellar disks. CDEEP is designed to observe disks in…
MagAO-X: project status and first laboratory results
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Kelsey Miller +32
MagAO-X is an entirely new "extreme" adaptive optics system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope, funded by the NSF MRI program starting in Sep 2016. The key science goal of MagAO…
ARGOS at the LBT. Binocular laser guided ground layer adaptive optics
S. Rabien, R. Angel, L. Barl +48
Having completed its commissioning phase, the Advanced Rayleigh guided Ground-layer adaptive Optics System (ARGOS) facility is coming online for scientific observations at the Larg…
