Exploring reinforcement learning to enhance focal-plane wavefront control for vortex coronagraphs

Iremsu Taskin, Jalo Nousiainen, Gilles Orban de Xivry +2

High Contrast Imaging (HCI) on ground-based telescopes suffers from phase aberrations on the observed wavefront caused by atmospheric turbulence. Adaptive Optics (AO) systems are a…

On-sky demonstration of reinforcement learning for adaptive optics control

Jalo Nousiainen, Vincent Chambouleyron, Benoit Neichel +7

Reinforcement learning (RL)-based algorithms have recently emerged as a promising approach for adaptive optics (AO) control. In simulations and laboratory experiments, they have de…

Focal plane wavefront control with model-based reinforcement learning

Jalo Nousiainen, Iremsu Taskin, Markus Kasper +2

The direct imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets is one prime science case for high-contrast imaging instruments on extremely large telescopes. Most such exoplanets orbit clo…

The GPU-based High-order adaptive OpticS Testbench

Byron Engler, Markus Kasper, Serban Leveratto +12

The GPU-based High-order adaptive OpticS Testbench (GHOST) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a new 2-stage extreme adaptive optics (XAO) testbench at ESO. The GHOST is…

The power of prediction: spatiotemporal Gaussian process modeling for predictive control in slope-based wavefront sensing

Jalo Nousiainen, Juha-Pekka Puska, Tapio Helin +2

Time-delay error is a significant error source in adaptive optics (AO) systems. It arises from the latency between sensing the wavefront and applying the correction. Predictive con…

Use the 4S (Signal-Safe Speckle Subtraction): Explainable Machine Learning reveals the Giant Exoplanet AF Lep b in High-Contrast Imaging Data from 2011

Markus J. Bonse, Timothy D. Gebhard, Felix A. Dannert +10

The main challenge of exoplanet high-contrast imaging (HCI) is to separate the signal of exoplanets from their host stars, which are many orders of magnitude brighter. HCI for grou…
