EMCCD for Pyramid wavefront sensor: laboratory characterization
Guido Agapito, Tommaso Mazzoni, Fabio Rossi +3
Electro-Multiplying CCDs offer a unique combination of speed, sub-electron noise and quantum efficiency. These features make them extremely attractive for astronomical adaptive opt…
MAORY AO performances
Guido Agapito, Cedric Plantet, Lorenzo Busoni +7
The Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY (MAORY) should provide 30% SR in K band (50% goal) on half of the sky at the South Galactic Pole. Assessing its performance and the sensit…
XAO-assisted coronagraphy with SHARK NIR: from simulations to laboratory tests
Gabriele Umbriaco, Elena Carolo, Daniele Vassallo +22
Several Extreme Adaptive Optics (XAO) systems dedicated to the detection and characterisation of the exoplanets are currently in operation for 8-10 meter class telescopes. Coronagr…
The HOSTS survey for exozodiacal dust: Observational results from the complete survey
Steve Ertel, Denis Defrère, Philip M. Hinz +43
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) enables nulling interferometric observations across the N band (8 to 13 um) to suppress a star's bright light and probe for fain…
