A probable giant planet imaged in the Beta Pictoris disk
A. -M. Lagrange, D. Gratadour, G. Chauvin +12
Since the discovery of its dusty disk in 1984, Beta Pictoris has become the prototype of young early-type planetary systems, and there are now various indications that a massive Jo…
Tomographic reconstruction for Wide Field Adaptive Optics systems: Fourier domain analysis and fundamental limitations
B. Neichel, T. Fusco, J. -M. Conan
Several Wide Field of view Adaptive Optics (WFAO) concepts like Multi-Conjugate AO (MCAO), Multi-Object AO (MOAO) or Ground-Layer AO (GLAO) are currently studied for the next gener…
On-Line Long-Exposure Phase Diversity: a Powerful Tool for Sensing Quasi-Static Aberrations of Extreme Adaptive Optics Imaging Systems
L. M. Mugnier, J. -F. Sauvage, T. Fusco +2
The phase diversity technique is a useful tool to measure and pre-compensate for quasi-static aberrations, in particular non-common path aberrations, in an adaptive optics correcte…
Comparison of coronagraphs for high contrast imaging in the context of Extremely Large Telescopes
P. Martinez, A. Boccaletti, M. Kasper +4
We compare coronagraph concepts and investigate their behavior and suitability for planet finder projects with Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs, 30-42 meters class telescopes). For…
Coupling MOAO with Integral Field Spectroscopy: specifications for the VLT and the E-ELT
M. Puech, H. Flores, M. Lehnert +5
[Abridged] We have developed an end-to-end simulation to specify the science requirements of a MOAO-fed integral field spectrograph on either an 8m or 42m telescope. Our simulation…
End to End Simulation of AO-assisted coronagraphic differential imaging: estimation of performance for SPHERE
Anthony Boccaletti, Marcel Carbillet, Thierry Fusco +4
SPHERE (Spectro Polarimetric High contrast Exoplanet REsearch), the planet finder instrument for the VLT is designed to study relatively bright extrasolar giant planets around youn…
