Externally Occulted Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph: Simulations and Sensitivities
Richard G. Lyon, Sally Heap, Amy Lo +5
A multitude of coronagraphic techniques for the space-based direct detection and characterization of exo-solar terrestrial planets are actively being pursued by the astronomical co…
Fast computation of Lyot-style coronagraph propagation
Remi Soummer, Laurent Pueyo, Anand Sivaramakrishnan +1
We present a new method for numerical propagation through Lyot-style coronagraphs using finite occulting masks. Standard methods for coronagraphic simulations involve Fast Fourier…
Optimal Occulter Design for Finding Extrasolar Planets
R. J. Vanderbei, N. J. Kasdin, E. Cady
One proposed method for finding terrestrial planets around nearby stars is to use two spacecraft--a telescope and a specially shaped occulter that is specifically designed to preve…
