The Polstar High Resolution Spectropolarimetry MIDEX Mission
Paul A. Scowen, Ken Gayley, Coralie Neiner +7
The Polstar mission will provide for a space-borne 60cm telescope operating at UV wavelengths with spectropolarimetric capability capturing all four Stokes parameters (intensity, t…
Optical design for CETUS: a wide-field 1.5m aperture UV payload being studied for a NASA probe class mission study
Robert A. Woodruff, William C. Danchi, Sara R. Heap +12
As part of a study funded by NASA Headquarters, we are developing a Probe-class mission concept called the Cosmic Evolution Through UV Spectroscopy (CETUS). CETUS includes a 1.5-m…
The NASA Probe space mission concept, Cosmic Evolution Through UV Surveys (CETUS)
Sara Heap, Jonathan Arenberg, Tony Hull +2
The mission concept, Cosmic Origins Through UV Surveys (CETUS) is an all-UV space mission concept that was selected and funded by NASA for study in 2017. The main capabilities of C…
Michelson interferometer null may confirm transverse Doppler Effect
Robert A. Woodruff
We analyze fringe formation within Michelson-like experiments as viewed by relativistic inertial observers. Our analysis differs from previous work because we include optical misal…
Aberration of starlight experiment
Robert A. Woodruff
We propose an experiment using a conventional optical telescope to determine whether aberration of starlight results from special relativistic effects external to a measurement sen…
Simultaneous Exoplanet Characterization and deep wide-field imaging with a diffractive pupil telescope
Olivier Guyon, Josh A. Eisner, Roger Angel +12
High-precision astrometry can identify exoplanets and measure their orbits and masses, while coronagraphic imaging enables detailed characterization of their physical properties an…
