Integrated coronagraphy and wavefront sensing with the PIAACMC

Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males, Olivier Guyon

Uncorrected wavefront errors create speckle noise in high-contrast observations at small inner-working angles. These speckles can be sensed and controlled by using coronagraph inte…

Applying a temporal systematics model to vector Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraphic data: TRAP4vAPP

Pengyu Liu, Alexander J. Bohn, David S. Doelman +10

The vector Apodizing Phase Plate (vAPP) is a pupil plane coronagraph that suppresses starlight by forming a dark hole in its point spread function (PSF). The unconventional and non…
