Reinforcement learning for post-coronagraphic wavefront control

Manuela Castañeda-Medina, Yann Gutierrez, Johan Mazoyer +3

Direct imaging of exoplanets is limited by the extreme contrast between the star and the planets, which is mitigated using a coronagraph. However, optical aberrations cause starlig…

A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach to Wavefront Control for Exoplanet Imaging

Yann Gutierrez, Johan Mazoyer, Olivier Herscovici-Schiller +3

Exoplanet imaging uses coronagraphs to block out the bright light from a star, allowing astronomers to observe the much fainter light from planets orbiting the star. However, these…

Image-based wavefront correction using model-free Reinforcement Learning

Yann Gutierrez, Johan Mazoyer, Laurent M. Mugnier +2

Optical aberrations prevent telescopes from reaching their theoretical diffraction limit. Once estimated, these aberrations can be compensated for using deformable mirrors in a clo…

Integrated photonic-based coronagraphic systems for future space telescopes

Niyati Desai, Lorenzo König, Emiel Por +38

The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars is a primary science motivation for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. However, the current best te…

Visible extreme adaptive optics on extremely large telescopes: Towards detecting oxygen in Proxima Centauri b and analogs

J. Fowler, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Maaike A. M. van Kooten +38

Looking to the future of exo-Earth imaging from the ground, core technology developments are required in visible extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) to enable the observation of atmosph…

Chasing rainbows and ocean glints: Inner working angle constraints for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Sophia R. Vaughan, Timothy D. Gebhard, Kimberly Bott +41

NASA is engaged in planning for a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HabWorlds), a coronagraphic space mission to detect rocky planets in habitable zones and establish their habitabilit…
