Segment-level thermal sensitivity analysis for exo-Earth coronagraphy with segmented space telescopes
Ananya Sahoo, Laurent Pueyo, Iva Laginja +5
The paper develops a thermal stability error budget for segmented space telescopes, linking temperature gradients on individual mirror segments to wavefront errors and defining seg…
Exploring Exoplanets with Interferometry
Sascha P. Quanz, Bertrand Mennesson, Charles Beichman +27
(Extract from the Executive Summary) Humanity stands at the threshold of answering one of its most profound questions: Does life exist beyond Earth? Ongoing and upcoming space miss…
Leveraging Photometry for Deconfusion of Directly Imaged Multi-Planet Systems
Samantha N. Hasler, Leonid Pogorelyuk, Riley Fitzgerald +2
Future missions, including the Habitable Worlds Observatory, will aim to image Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars in reflected light. Determining whether an exoplanet is i…
A parameter scan of dark zone maintenance for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets using theoretical and experimental implementations
Saikrishna Manojkumar, Christine L. Page, Leonid Pogorelyuk +14
Maintaining wavefront stability while directly imaging exoplanets over long exposure times is an ongoing problem in the field of high-contrast imaging. Robust and efficient high-or…
