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…
Discovery of a Low-Mass Companion to the Accelerating Star HIP 53005 with Strongly Conflicting Mass Estimates
Taichi Uyama, Thayne Currie, Jerry W. Xuan +22
We present the discovery of a low-mass companion located at 0\farcs{}85 () from the early-type 1.2 Gyr-old star HIP 53005 using direct imagi…
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…
