Habitable World Discovery and Characterization: Coronagraph Concept of Operations and Data Post-Processing
Michael W. McElwain, Dimitri Mawet, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio +11
The discovery and characterization of habitable worlds was the top scientific recommendation of the Astro2020 decadal survey and is a key objective of the Habitable Worlds Observat…
The polarimetric imaging mode of VLT/SPHERE/IRDIS II: Characterization and correction of instrumental polarization effects
R. G. van Holstein, J. H. Girard, J. de Boer +31
Context. Circumstellar disks and self-luminous giant exoplanets or companion brown dwarfs can be characterized through direct-imaging polarimetry at near-infrared wavelengths. SPHE…
The polarimetric imaging mode of VLT/SPHERE/IRDIS I: Description, data reduction and observing strategy
J. de Boer, M. Langlois, R. G. van Holstein +31
Context. Polarimetric imaging is one of the most effective techniques for high-contrast imaging and characterization of protoplanetary disks, and has the potential to be instrument…
Key Technologies for the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
Vanessa P. Bailey, Lee Armus, Bala Balasubramanian +84
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast imager and integral field spectrograph that will enable the study of exoplanets an…
K-Stacker: Keplerian image recombination for the direct detection of exoplanets
M. Nowak, H. Le Coroller, L. Arnold +5
We present a proof of concept for a new algorithm which can be used to detect exoplanets in high contrast images. The algorithm properly combines mutliple observations acquired dur…
The SPHERE data center: a reference for high contrast imaging processing
Ph. Delorme, N. Meunier, D. Albert +19
The objective of the SPHERE Data Center is to optimize the scientific return of SPHERE at the VLT, by providing optimized reduction procedures, services to users and publicly avail…
