Florence Ardellier-Desages, Jer{ô}me Amiaux, J{é}r{ô}me Bobin +12
This paper presents the development strategy for HWO-AGATE (Accurate Guiding and Astrometry Targeting Exoearths), a high-precision relative astrometry instrument concept designed f…
Setup and performance of focal-plane characterization benches for high precision astrometry
Fabrice Pancher, Sebastien Soler, Fabien Malbet +7
Detecting Earth-like exoplanets requires micro-arcsecond astrometry, which relies on a precisely calibrated focal plane equipped with high-resolution detectors. Accurate calibratio…
