Robotic Laser-Adaptive-Optics Imaging of 715 Kepler Exoplanet Candidates using Robo-AO
Nicholas M. Law, Tim Morton, Christoph Baranec +12
The Robo-AO Kepler Planetary Candidate Survey is designed to observe every Kepler planet candidate host star with laser adaptive optics imaging to search for blended nearby stars,…
Electric Field Conjugation with the Project 1640 coronagraph
Eric Cady, Christoph Baranec, Charles Beichman +25
The Project 1640 instrument on the 200-inch Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory is a coronagraphic instrument with an integral field spectrograph at the back end, designed to fin…
Rise of the machines: first year operations of the Robo-AO visible-light laser-adaptive optics instrument
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Nicholas M. Law +11
Robo-AO is the first autonomous laser adaptive optics system and science instrument operating on sky. With minimal human oversight, the system robotically executes large scale surv…
PULSE: Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets
Christoph Baranec, Richard Dekany, Marcos van Dam +1
PULSE is a new concept to augment the currently operating 5.1-m Hale PALM-3000 exoplanet adaptive optics system with an ultraviolet Rayleigh laser and associated wavefront sensor.…
The Kappa Andromedae System: New Constraints on the Companion Mass, System Age & Further Multiplicity
Sasha Hinkley, Laurent Pueyo, Jacqueline K. Faherty +29
Kappa Andromedae is a B9IVn star at 52 pc for which a faint substellar companion separated by 55 AU was recently announced. In this work, we present the first spectrum of the compa…
PALM-3000: Exoplanet Adaptive Optics for the 5-meter Hale Telescope
R. Dekany, J. Roberts, R. Burruss +17
We describe and report first results from PALM-3000, the second-generation astronomical adaptive optics facility for the 5.1-m Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory. PALM-3000 has…
