Optical Design Pathways to Fluidic Space-Assembled Reflectors & Dual-Configuration Spectrographs for Characterizing Exo-Earths
Enrico Biancalani, Edward Balaban, Ruslan Belikov +14
| We present a conceptual framework for optically designing space-assembled telescopes whose primary mirror is formed via the enabl…
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument Overview and Status
Vanessa P. Bailey, Eduardo Bendek, Brian Monacelli +19
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument is a critical technology demonstrator for NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory. With a predicted visible-light flux rati…
Random Vibration Testing of Microelectromechanical Deformable Mirrors for Space-based High-Contrast Imaging
Axel Potier, Camilo Mejia Prada, Garreth Ruane +11
Space-based stellar coronagraph instruments aim to directly image exoplanets that are a fraction of an arcsecond separation and ten billion times fainter than their host star. To a…
Flight mask designs of the Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
A J Eldorado Riggs, Dwight Moody, Jessica Gersh-Range +17
Over the past two decades, thousands of confirmed exoplanets have been detected; the next major challenge is to characterize these other worlds and their stellar systems. Much info…
Experimental analysis of the achromatic performance of a vector vortex coronagraph
Garreth Ruane, Eugene Serabyn, Camilo Mejia Prada +4
The vector vortex coronagraph is an instrument designed for direct detection and spectroscopy of exoplanets over a broad spectral range. Our team is working towards demonstrating c…
Microelectromechanical deformable mirror development for high-contrast imaging, part 1: miniaturized, flight-capable control electronics
Eduardo Bendek, Garreth Ruane, Camilo Mejia Prada +3
Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a critical technology to enable coronagraphic direct imaging of exoplanets with current and planned ground - and space-based telescopes as well as futu…
