Deep Contrast and Companion Detection Using the EvWaCo Testbed Equipped with an Achromatic Focal Plane Mask and an Adjustable Inner Working Angle
M. A. Alagao, A. Kawinkij, C. Buisset +21
The evanescent wave coronagraph uses the principle of frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) to suppress the light coming from the star and study its close environment. Its fo…
SPIDAST: a new modular software to process spectro-interferometric measurements
Pierre Cruzalèbes, Yves Rabbia, Alain Jorissen +6
Extracting stellar fundamental parameters from SPectro-Interferometric (SPI) data requires reliable estimates of observables and with robust uncertainties (visibility, triple produ…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Tests of achromatic phase shifters performed on the SYNAPSE test bench: a progress report
Pavel Gabor, Peter A. Schuller, Bruno Chazelas +16
The achromatic phase shifter (APS) is a component of the Bracewell nulling interferometer studied in preparation for future space missions (viz. Darwin/TPF-I) focusing on spectrosc…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
The Achromatic Interfero Coronagraph
Yves Rabbia, Jean Gay, Jean-Pierre Rivet
We report on the Achromatic Interfero Coronagraph, a focal imaging device which aims at rejecting the energy contribution of a point-like source set on-axis, so as to make detectab…
