SCExAO/CHARIS High-Contrast Pre-Launch Vetting of Roman Coronagraph Technology Demonstration PSF Reference Stars
Thayne Currie, Jie Li, Mona El Morsy +9
We present deep, SCExAO/CHARIS high-contrast integral field spectroscopy and archival imaging of four candidate Roman Coronagraph PSF reference stars within/near the Roman Continuo…
Technology and Science Advancing Observations with Roman Coronagraph Informed by Ground-Based High-Contrast Imaging
Mona El Morsy, Thayne Currie, Brianna Lacy +10
The Roman Coronagraph technology demonstration focuses on achieving 10 contrasts within the instrument's dark hole and our ability to detect and characterize properties…
Combining spectroscopy and wavefront control at deep contrast with photonic lanterns
Mona El Morsy, Olivier Guyon, Barnaby Norris +7
HWO aims to directly image objects orbiting Sun-like stars, using a 6-m telescope capable of high-contrast imaging () and spectroscopy to search for biosignatures in plan…
A Roman Coronagraph Spectroscopic Mode Demonstration
Thayne Currie, Brianna Lacy, Yiting Li +5
We propose 730 nm high-contrast spectroscopic observations of selected self-luminous directly-imaged planets as a key test of the Roman Coronagraph's planet characterization capabi…
Decisively Demonstrating Roman CGI's TTR5 Requirement by Reimaging a Newly-Discovered Brown Dwarf Orbiting a Bright Accelerating Star
Thayne Currie, Mona El Morsy, Brianna Lacy +3
We propose Roman Coronagraph project HLC/575 nm observations of a newly-discovered brown dwarf (HIP 71618 B) from the Subaru/OASIS survey of young accelerating stars, which is supp…
The HIP 54515 b Superjovian Planet as an Early, Critical Look at the Roman Coronagraph's Performance in the Faint Target Star, Small IWA Limit
Thayne Currie, Yiting Li, Brianna Lacy +4
The Roman Coronagraph's capabilities in the faint star, small IWA limit has enormous scientific (programmatic) impacts. Testing its performance in this limit provides a first look…
