On-sky vibration environment for the Gemini Planet Imager and mitigation effort
Markus Hartung, Tom Hayward, Les Saddlemyer +20
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) entered on-sky commissioning and had its first-light at the Gemini South (GS) telescope in November 2013. GPI is an extreme adaptive optics (XAO), hi…
The First H-band Spectrum of the Massive Gas Giant Planet beta Pictoris b with the Gemini Planet Imager
Jeffrey Chilcote, Travis Barman, Michael P. Fitzgerald +43
Using the recently installed Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), we have taken the first H-band spectrum of the planetary companion to the nearby young star beta Pictoris. GPI is designed…
Polarimetry with the Gemini Planet Imager: Methods, Performance at First Light, and the Circumstellar Ring around HR 4796A
Marshall D. Perrin, Gaspard Duchene, Max Millar-Blanchaer +41
We present the first results from the polarimetry mode of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), which uses a new integral field polarimetry architecture to provide high contrast linear p…
Effects of differential wavefront sensor bias drifts on high contrast imaging
Naru Sadakuni, Bruce A. Macintosh, David W. Palmer +11
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a new facility, extreme adaptive optics (AO), coronagraphic instrument, currently being integrated onto the 8-meter Gemini South telescope, with t…
Characterization of the Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector of the Gemini Planet Imager
Pascale Hibon, Sandrine Thomas, Jennifer Dunn +18
An Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) uses a double-prism arrangement to nullify the vertical chromatic dispersion introduced by the atmosphere at non-zero zenith distances. Th…
The Integral Field Spectrograph for the Gemini Planet Imager
James E. Larkin, Jeffrey K. Chilcote, Theodore Aliado +31
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a complex optical system designed to directly detect the self-emission of young planets within two arcseconds of their host stars. After suppressi…
Automated Alignment and On-Sky Performance of the Gemini Planet Imager Coronagraph
Dmitry Savransky, Sandrine J. Thomas, Lisa A. Poyneer +11
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a next-generation, facility instrument currently being commissioned at the Gemini South observatory. GPI combines an extreme adaptive optics syste…
Gemini Planet Imager integration to the Gemini South telescope software environment
Fredrik T. Rantakyrö, Andrew Cardwell, Jeffrey Chilcote +18
The Gemini Planet Imager is an extreme AO instrument with an integral field spectrograph (IFS) operating in Y, J, H, and K bands. Both the Gemini telescope and the GPI instrument a…
Gemini Planet imager Observational Calibrations X: Non-Redundant Masking on GPI
Alexandra Z. Greenbaum, Anthony Cheetham, Anand Sivaramakrishnan +18
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) Extreme Adaptive Optics Coronograph contains an interferometric mode: a 10-hole non-redundant mask (NRM) in its pupil wheel. GPI operates at $Y, J, H…
Gemini Planet Imager Observational Calibrations VIII: Characterization and Role of Satellite Spots
Jason J. Wang, Abhijith Rajan, James R. Graham +20
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) combines extreme adaptive optics, an integral field spectrograph, and a high performance coronagraph to directly image extrasolar planets in the near…
Gemini Planet Imager Observational Calibrations VII: On-Sky Polarimetric Performance of the Gemini Planet Imager
Sloane J. Wiktorowicz, Max Millar-Blanchaer, Marshall D. Perrin +17
We present on-sky polarimetric observations with the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) obtained at straight Cassegrain focus on the Gemini South 8-m telescope. Observations of polarimetri…
On-sky performance during verification and commissioning of the Gemini Planet Imager's adaptive optics system
Lisa A. Poyneer, Robert J. De Rosa, Bruce Macintosh +15
The Gemini Planet Imager instrument's adaptive optics (AO) subsystem was designed specifically to facilitate high-contrast imaging. It features several new technologies, including…
The Gemini Planet Imager: First Light
Bruce Macintosh, James R. Graham, Patrick Ingraham +44
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a dedicated facility for directly imaging and spectroscopically characterizing extrasolar planets. It combines a very high-order adaptive optics s…
