Status Update and Closed-Loop Performance of the Magellan Adaptive Optics VisAO Camera
Derek Kopon, Laird M. Close, Jared Males +3
We present laboratory results of the closed-loop performance of the Magellan Adaptive Optics (AO) Adaptive Secondary Mirror (ASM), pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS), and VisAO visibl…
Direct imaging of exoplanets in the habitable zone with adaptive optics
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Olivier Guyon +16
One of the primary goals of exoplanet science is to find and characterize habitable planets, and direct imaging will play a key role in this effort. Though imaging a true Earth ana…
MagAO: Status and on-sky performance of the Magellan adaptive optics system
Katie M. Morzinski, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +19
MagAO is the new adaptive optics system with visible-light and infrared science cameras, located on the 6.5-m Magellan "Clay" telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The inst…
Into the Blue: AO Science with MagAO in the Visible
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katherine B. Follette +11
We review astronomical results in the visible (λ<1μm) with adaptive optics. Other than a brief period in the early 1990s, there has been little astronomical science done in the vis…
High contrast imaging at the LBT: the LEECH exoplanet imaging survey
Andrew J. Skemer, Philip Hinz, Simone Esposito +34
In Spring 2013, the LEECH (LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt) survey began its 130-night campaign from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) atop Mt Graham, Arizona. This surv…
Gemini Planet Imager Observational Calibrations V: Astrometry and Distortion
Quinn M. Konopacky, Sandrine J. Thomas, Bruce A. Macintosh +24
We present the results of both laboratory and on sky astrometric characterization of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). This characterization includes measurement of the pixel scale o…
