The MAPS Adaptive Secondary Mirror: First Light, Laboratory Work, and Achievements
Jess A. Johnson, Amali Vaz, Manny Montoya +23
The MMT Adaptive Optics exoPlanet Characterization System (MAPS) is a comprehensive update to the first generation MMT adaptive optics system (MMTAO), designed to produce a facilit…
The Optical and Mechanical Design for the 21,000 Actuator ExAO System for the Giant Magellan Telescope: GMagAO-X
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Olivier Durney +9
GMagAO-X is the near first light ExAO coronagraphic instrument for the 25.4m GMT. It is designed for a slot on the folded port of the GMT. To meet the strict ExAO fitting and servo…
The conceptual design of GMagAO-X: visible wavelength high contrast imaging with GMT
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert +10
We present the conceptual design of GMagAO-X, an extreme adaptive optics system for the 25 m Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). We are developing GMagAO-X to be available at or shortl…
The space coronagraph optical bench (SCoOB): 2. wavefront sensing and control in a vacuum-compatible coronagraph testbed for spaceborne high-contrast imaging technology
Kyle Van Gorkom, Ewan S. Douglas, Jaren N. Ashcraft +9
The 2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics endorsed space-based high contrast imaging for the detection and characterization of habitable exoplanets as a key priority fo…
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 1. Design and Assembly of a Vacuum-compatible Coronagraph Testbed for Spaceborne High-Contrast Imaging Technology
Jaren N. Ashcraft, Heejoo Choi, Ewan S. Douglas +14
The development of spaceborne coronagraphic technology is of paramount importance to the detection of habitable exoplanets in visible light. In space, coronagraphs are able to bypa…
Simultaneous Water Vapor and Dry Air Optical Path Length Measurements and Compensation with the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
D. Defrère, P. Hinz, E. Downey +14
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer uses a near-infrared camera to measure the optical path length variations between the two AO-corrected apertures and provide high-angul…
