Instrumental artifacts in photonic lantern spectroastrometry and their mitigation with PLred
Yoo Jung Kim, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Malena Bloom +10
Spectroastrometry is a powerful spectral-differential technique for probing angular scales below the resolution limit, but it is also well known to be susceptible to instrumental a…
FIRST-PL: Commissioning the first visible photonic lantern spectrograph for sub-diffraction-limit astronomy on Subaru/SCExAO
Sebastien Vievard, Elsa Huby, Sylvestre Lacour +18
FIRST-PL (Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope - Photonic Lantern) is a newly commissioned visible-light instrument on Subaru/SCExAO achieving spectroscopy below the diffraction l…
He'e-Lab: A modular testbed for astrophotonics and wavefront sensing development
Sebastien Vievard, Christopher Hamner, Nour Skaf +14
Advanced astronomical instrumentation requires accessible, reconfigurable platforms to validate novel technologies and algorithms before on-sky deployment. We present the design, a…
Upgrading LBTI/NOMIC with a quadruple annular groove phase mask and GeoSnap detector for imaging nearby, habitable-zone exoplanets
Kevin Wagner, Manny Montoya, Steve Ertel +36
The paper describes two upgrades to the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer’s NOMIC camera—a quadruple annular groove phase mask coronagraph and a new Teledyne GeoSnap detecto…
Updating the SCExAO/CHARIS polarimetric calibration following the Nasmyth beam-switcher upgrade
Thomas McIntosh, Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis +18
Subaru/SCExAO/CHARIS enables near-infrared integral field spectropolarimetry. Quantitative polarimetry is useful for a variety of science cases, particularly measurements related t…
On-sky demonstration of second-stage wavefront control with a photonic lantern
Aditya R. Sengupta, Jordan Diaz, Matthew DeMartino +14
Ground-based direct imaging of exoplanets at high contrast requires precise correction of atmospheric turbulence using adaptive optics (AO). The planet-to-star contrast ratio at sm…
