Pixel-Level Calibration for Space-Based High Precision Astrometry Using Young's Fringes
Hugo Rousset, Eric Thiébaut, Eric Thiébaut +13
The detection of Earth-like exoplanets via astrometry necessitates centroiding precision at the 0.3 microarcsec level, thereby imposing stringent constraints on the focal plane geo…
System Analysis for a high-precision high-accuracy Astrometric instrument for HWO
Jérôme Amiaux, Fabien Malbet, Florence Ardellier-Desages +20
This study presents a comprehensive system analysis for an instrument onboard the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), designed for high-precision, high-accuracy differential astrom…
Very High Precision Astrometry for Exoplanets and Dark Matter with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Fabien Malbet, J. Amiaux, F. Ardellier-Desages +19
Astrometry, one of the oldest branches of astronomy, has been revolutionized by missions like Hipparcos and especially Gaia, which mapped billions of stars with extraordinary preci…
Experimental tests of the calibration of high precision differential astrometry for HWO
Manon Lizzana, Fabien Malbet, Alain Leger +7
Many different scientific applications require sub-micro arcsecond precision astrometry, including researching rocky exoplanets in the vicinity of the Sun and studying dark matter.…
