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…
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…
Dynamical Analysis of the HD 169142 Planet-Forming Disk: Twelve Years of High-Contrast Polarimetry
Miles Lucas, Michael Bottom, Ruobing Dong +19
We present a dynamical analysis of the HD 169142 planet-forming disk based on high-contrast polarimetric imaging over a twelve-year observational period, offering insights into its…
Unveiling the Atmosphere of HR 7672 B from the Near-Infrared High-Resolution Spectrum Using REACH/Subaru
Yui Kasagi, Yui Kawashima, Hajime Kawahara +12
Characterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets and brown dwarfs is crucial for understanding their atmospheric physics and chemistry, searching for biosignatures, and investigating t…
PIRATES -- a machine-learning framework for polarized, interferometric image reconstruction
Lucinda Lilley, Barnaby Norris, Peter Tuthill +13
Optical interferometric image reconstruction is a challenging, ill-posed optimization problem which usually relies on heavy regularization for convergence. Conventional algorithms…
