JWST telemetry combined with active coronagraphy: raw contrast predictions for exoplanet imaging with the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Raphaël Pourcelot, Laurent A. Pueyo, Emiel H. Por +6

We provide a quantification of the technological gap between the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) for the goal of exo-Earth imaging arou…

Tradeoff between segment density and IWA for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets with a large segmented space mission

Lucie Leboulleux, Raphaël Pourcelot, Laurent Pueyo +1

Imaging Earth-like exoplanets with coronagraphs on future large segmented space telescopes such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory requires contrasts down to at separat…

Enhancing the performance and capabilities of the MIRI instrument on JWST

S. Kendrew, M. Engesser, K. Rowlands +23

MIRI, the Mid-Infrared Instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope, is the only instrument sensitive to wavelengths longward of 5 um on the observatory. In this regime, MIRI bring…

Segment-level thermal sensitivity analysis for exo-Earth coronagraphy with segmented space telescopes

Ananya Sahoo, Laurent Pueyo, Iva Laginja +5

Direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like planets require ultra-stable wavefronts to achieve a starlight suppression level of 100 parts per trillion (ppt) in the coronagrap…

Impact of segmented deformable mirrors on high-contrast testbeds for exoplanet imaging with future large space telescopes: contrast stability assessment on the HiCAT bench

Benjamin Buralli, Mamadou N'Diaye, Raphaël Pourcelot +13

We investigate the stability of a segmented deformable mirror (DM) on high-contrast testbeds and its impact on the images produced with coronagraphs. Segmented apertures are promis…
