Progress toward a demonstration of high contrast imaging at ultraviolet wavelengths
Kyle Van Gorkom, Ramya M. Anche, Christopher B. Mendillo +9
NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to achieve starlight suppression to the level for the detection and spectral characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. Br…
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 7. design, fabrication, and first light for a self-coherent camera
Kevin Derby, Kian Milani, Grace C. Hathaway +10
The 2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics tasked future space observatories with the goal of detecting and characterizing a large sample of Earth-like exoplanets. To ac…
Optical modeling for the evaluation of HOWFSC on embedded processors
Kian Milani, Ewan Douglas, Leonid Pogorelyuk +5
The correction of quasi-static wavefront errors within a coronagraphic optical system will be a key challenge to overcome in order to directly image exoplanets in reflected light.…
Integrated modeling of wavefront sensing and control for space telescopes utilizing active and adaptive optics
Kevin Z. Derby, Kian Milani, Solvay Blomquist +9
Extreme wavefront correction is required for coronagraphs on future space telescopes to reach 1e-8 or better starlight suppression for the direct imaging and characterization of ex…
