Development of an adaptive optics testbed at MPIA for the ELT/Planetary Camera and Spectrograph (PCS)
Raphaël Pourcelot, Thomas Bertram, Peter Bizenberger +5
The Planetary Camera and Spectrograph (PCS) is a proposed second-generation instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), dedicated to the direct imaging and characterization…
Lessons learned from the NEAR experiment and prospects for the upcoming mid-IR HCI instruments
Prashant Pathak, Markus Kasper, Olivier Absil +6
The mid-infrared (IR) regime is well suited to directly detect the thermal signatures of exoplanets in our solar neighborhood. The NEAR experiment: demonstration of high-contrast i…
Non Common Path Aberrations Correction
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Markus Kasper
The primary goal of this thesis was the correction of Non-Common-Path-Aberrations in the SPHERE instrument for helping it meeting its contrast requirements. SPHERE's purpose is the…
Connecting SPHERE and CRIRES+ for the characterisation of young exoplanets at high spectral resolution: status update of VLT/HiRISE
A. Vigan, M. Lopez, M. El Morsy +32
New generation exoplanet imagers on large ground-based telescopes are highly optimised for the detection of young giant exoplanets in the near-infrared, but they are intrinsically…
Large dust grains in the wind of VY Canis Majoris
P. Scicluna, R. Siebenmorgen, R. Wesson +4
Massive stars live short lives, losing large amounts of mass through their stellar wind. Their mass is a key factor determining how and when they explode as supernovae, enriching t…
Adaptive Optics for Astronomy
R. Davies, M. Kasper
Adaptive Optics is a prime example of how progress in observational astronomy can be driven by technological developments. At many observatories it is now considered to be part of…
Band-Limited Coronagraphs using a Halftone-dot process: design guidelines, manufacturing, and laboratory results
P. Martinez, C. Dorrer, M. Kasper
The Exo-Planet Imaging Camera and Spectrograph (EPICS) for the future 42-meter European-Extremely Large Telescope, will enable direct images, and spectra for both young and old Jup…
