The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: early calibration plan and pilot observation of a companion
Julien H. Girard, Eric Cady, Neil T. Zimmerman +42
Roman is set to launch in weeks! The Coronagraph Instrument - technology pathfinder for future direct imaging missions - is ready to fly too. According to predictions, laboratory t…
The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: trials and triumphs of designing an observing program for a technology demonstration instrument
Schuyler G. Wolff, Vanessa P. Bailey, Justin Hom +19
The Coronagraph Instrument onboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope serves as a crucial technology pathfinder for the Habitable Worlds Observatory, with on-sky verification of…
The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: pre-launch reference star list and impact of reference star properties on post-processing performance
Justin Hom, Schuyler G. Wolff, Jessica Gersh-Range +51
The upcoming Roman Coronagraph will be the first high-contrast instrument in space capable of high-order wavefront sensing and control technologies, a critical technology demonstra…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future
Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123
JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…
ForMoSA: Forward Modeling tool for Spectral Analysis
ForMoSA Collaboration, Simon Petrus, Paulina Palma-Bifani +9
ForMoSA is an open‑source Python package that uses Bayesian methods to fit spectroscopic and photometric data of directly imaged young planetary‑mass brown dwarfs and exoplanets, s…
ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph of the ELT: simulated performance of the CORO module and overview of the high-contrast capabilities for exoplanet observations
M. N'Diaye, A. Simonnin, A. Spang +19
We present the simulated performance of the coronagraph (CORO) module for ANDES, the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) high-resolution spectrograph. ANDES aims to address a broad ran…
