The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
Programmed but Arbitrary Control Minimization of Amplitude and phase for speckle Nulling (PACMAN)
Iva Laginja, Raphaël Pourcelot
We revive a cross-platform focal-plane wavefront sensing and control algorithm originally released in 1980 and show that it can provide significant contrast improvements over conve…
JWST/MIRI coronagraphic performances as measured on-sky
A. Boccaletti, C. Cossou, P. Baudoz +16
Characterization of directly imaged exoplanets is one of the most eagerly anticipated science functions of the James Webb Space Telescope. MIRI, the mid-IR instrument has the capab…
The Mid-Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, V: Predicted Performance of the MIRI Coronagraphs
A. Boccaletti, P. -O. Lagage, P. Baudoz +17
The imaging channel on the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is equipped with four coronagraphs that provide high contrast imaging capabilities for studying faint point sources and ex…
Reconnaissance of the HR 8799 Exosolar System II: Astrometry and Orbital Motion
L. Pueyo, R. Soummer, J. Hoffmann +30
We present an analysis of the orbital motion of the four sub-stellar objects orbiting HR8799. Our study relies on the published astrometric history of this system augmented with an…
The Gemini Planet Imager: First Light
Bruce Macintosh, James R. Graham, Patrick Ingraham +44
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a dedicated facility for directly imaging and spectroscopically characterizing extrasolar planets. It combines a very high-order adaptive optics s…
