Enabling Quantitative Polarimetry for Keck/NIRC2: Preliminary Mueller Matrix Model Calibration
Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +27
The Keck/NIRC2 infrared imager was upgraded in 2025 with dual-beam polarimetric observing modes spanning approximately 1.1--4.1 microns (JHKL' bands). We present a preliminary JHK…

Saraswathi Kalyani Subramanian, Kyle Van Gorkom, Ramya Anche +12
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB) is a vacuum high contrast imaging testbed designed to demonstrate starlight suppression at optical wavelengths and obtain contrasts bett…
Design and modeling of an oblique incidence dichroic mirror for a high contrast imaging system
Joanna Rosenbluth, Ramya Anche, Kyle Van Gorkom +4
The proposed Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to detect and characterize Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars from the ultraviolet to the infrared using high-contrast im…
