Demonstrating Improved Contrast on the Roman Coronagraph with Spatial Linear Dark Field Control

Thayne Currie, Olivier Guyon, Ruslan Belikov +2

The baseline contrast floor from the Roman Coronagraph's High-Order Wavefront Sensing and Control strategy likely degrades over the course of time, requiring periodic recalibration…

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…
