Mid-IR Water-Vapor Seeing: Implications for ELT/METIS High-Contrast Imaging from VLTI Data
Abhirami S Raghu, Prashant Pathak, Olivier Absil +7
Direct imaging and characterization of rocky exoplanets remains one of the central challenges in exoplanetary science. The mid-infrared (mid-IR) offers a favorable high-contrast im…
METIS high-contrast imaging simulations: From instrument modelling to science readiness
Gilles Orban de Xivry, Olivier Absil, Iain Hammond +9
The Mid-infrared Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) instrument, expected to see first light in early 2030, aims to detect and characterise exoplanets a…
Charge migration characterization in the METIS H2RG detectors
Danny Gasman, Benoît Serra, Roy van Boekel +4
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) is one of the first-light instruments of the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). For the L and M band, the instrument makes use of…
Maximising the mid-infrared high-contrast performance of ELT/METIS despite water vapour seeing
Olivier Absil, Gilles Orban de Xivry, Prashant Pathak +7
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) will be equipped with a SCAO system delivering Strehl ratios above 90% at L band (3.5 - 4.1 um) and close to 99% at N band (8 -…
METIS high-contrast imaging: from final design to manufacturing and testing
Olivier Absil, Matthew Kenworthy, Christian Delacroix +21
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) is one of the first-generation scientific instruments for the ELT, built under the supervision of ESO by a consortium of resear…
Characterization of a Longwave HgCdTe GeoSnap Detector
Rory Bowens, Michael R. Meyer, Taylor L. Tobin +6
New longwave HgCdTe detectors are critical to upcoming plans for ground-based infrared astronomy. These detectors, with fast-readouts and deep well-depths, will be key components o…
Impact of water vapor seeing on mid-infrared high-contrast imaging at ELT scale
Olivier Absil, Christian Delacroix, Gilles Orban de Xivry +9
The high-speed variability of the local water vapor content in the Earth atmosphere is a significant contributor to ground-based wavefront quality throughout the infrared domain. U…
Science with MATISSE
S. Wolf, B. Lopez, J. -Ch. Augereau +21
We present an overview of the scientific potential of MATISSE, the Multi Aperture mid-Infrared SpectroScopic Experiment for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer. For this purpos…
An overview of the mid-infrared spectro-interferometer MATISSE: science, concept, and current status
A. Matter, B. Lopez, P. Antonelli +104
MATISSE is the second-generation mid-infrared spectrograph and imager for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at Paranal. This new interferometric instrument will allow…
Characterizing Exoplanets in the Visible and Infrared: A Spectrometer Concept for the EChO Space Mission
A. M. Glauser, R. van Boekel, O. Krause +30
Transit-spectroscopy of exoplanets is one of the key observational techniques to characterize the extrasolar planet and its atmosphere. The observational challenges of these measur…
