Information-theoretical Limits of Recursive Estimation and Closed-loop Control in High-contrast Imaging
Leonid Pogorelyuk, Laurent Pueyo, Jared R. Males +2
A lower bound on unbiased estimates of wavefront errors (WFE) is presented for the linear regime of small perturbation and active control of a high-contrast region (dark hole). Ana…
The Versatile CubeSat Telescope: Going to Large Apertures in Small Spacecraft
Jaren N. Ashcraft, Ewan S. Douglas, Daewook Kim +10
The design of a CubeSat telescope for academic research purposes must balance complicated optical and structural designs with cost to maximize performance in extreme environments.…
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Final Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +183
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s. For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficient…
CubeSats for Astronomy and Astrophysics
Ewan S. Douglas, Kerri L. Cahoy, Mary Knapp +1
CubeSats have the potential to expand astrophysical discovery space, complementing ground-based electromagnetic and gravitational-wave observatories. The CubeSat design specificati…
Laser Guide Star for Large Segmented-Aperture Space Telescopes, Part I: Implications for Terrestrial Exoplanet Detection and Observatory Stability
Ewan S. Douglas, Jared R. Males, James Clark +4
Precision wavefront control on future segmented-aperture space telescopes presents significant challenges, particularly in the context of high-contrast exoplanet direct imaging. We…
The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Interim Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +79
For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficiently to enable a mission capable of discovering and characterizing habitable planets like Earth orbiting sunl…
