The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: early calibration plan and pilot observation of a companion
Julien H. Girard, Eric Cady, Neil T. Zimmerman +42
Roman is set to launch in weeks! The Coronagraph Instrument - technology pathfinder for future direct imaging missions - is ready to fly too. According to predictions, laboratory t…
The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: corgisim - a simulation suite for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
Jingwen Zhang, Sophie Noiret, Maxwell A. Millar Blanchaer +14
NASA's Roman Space Telescope will feature a pathfinder Coronagraph Instrument to demonstrate advanced high-contrast imaging from space, paving the way for future missions like the…
High-order wavefront sensing and control for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument (CGI): architecture and measured performance
Eric Cady, Nicholas Bowman, Alexandra Z. Greenbaum +10
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (``Roman'') is a 2.4m space telescope scheduled for a 2026 launch. The Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) on Roman is a technology-demonstration ins…
Cross-Model Validation of Coronagraphic Exposure Time Calculators for the Habitable Worlds Observatory: A Report from the Exoplanet Science Yield sub-Working Group
Christopher C. Stark, Sarah Steiger, Armen Tokadjian +9
Estimating the exoplanet scientific productivity of the Habitable Worlds Observatory requires estimating science exposure times. From exoplanet yields to spectral retrievals, expos…
Current laboratory performance of starlight suppression systems, and potential pathways to desired Habitable Worlds Observatory exoplanet science capabilities
Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por +34
We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems des…
