Exoplanet Imaging Data Challenge: benchmarking the various image processing methods for exoplanet detection
F. Cantalloube, C. Gomez-Gonzalez, O. Absil +23
The Exoplanet Imaging Data Challenge is a community-wide effort meant to offer a platform for a fair and common comparison of image processing methods designed for exoplanet direct…
XAO-assisted coronagraphy with SHARK NIR: from simulations to laboratory tests
Gabriele Umbriaco, Elena Carolo, Daniele Vassallo +22
Several Extreme Adaptive Optics (XAO) systems dedicated to the detection and characterisation of the exoplanets are currently in operation for 8-10 meter class telescopes. Coronagr…
A virtual coronagraphic test bench for SHARK-NIR, the second-generation high contrast imager for the Large Binocular Telescope
D. Vassallo, E. Carolo, J. Farinato +21
In this article, we present a simulator conceived for the conceptual study of an AO-fed high-contrast coronagraphic imager. The simulator implements physical optics: a complex dist…
SHARK-NIR, the coronagraphic camera for LBT, moving toward construction
Jacopo Farinato, Francesca Bacciotti, Carlo Baffa +37
SHARK-NIR is one of the two coronagraphic instruments proposed for the Large Binocular Telescope. Together with SHARK-VIS (performing coronagraphic imaging in the visible domain),…
SPHERE on-sky performance compared with budget predictions
Kjetil Dohlen, Arthur Vigan, David Mouillet +21
The SPHERE (spectro-photometric exoplanet research) extreme-AO planet hunter saw first light at the VLT observatory on Mount Paranal in May 2014 after ten years of development. Gre…
Astrometric and photometric accuracies in high contrast imaging: The SPHERE speckle calibration tool (SpeCal)
R. Galicher, A. Boccaletti, D. Mesa +21
The consortium of the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch installed at the Very Large Telescope (SPHERE/VLT) has been operating its guaranteed observation time (2…
