A simple optimized amplitude pupil mask for attempting to direct imaging of Proxima b with SPHERE/ZIMPOL at VLT
Polychronis Patapis, Jonas Kühn, Hans Martin Schmid
Proxima b is a terrestrial exoplanet orbiting in the habitable zone of our closest star Proxima Centauri. The separation between the planet and the star is about 40 mas and this is…
SPHERE / ZIMPOL high resolution polarimetric imager. I. System overview, PSF parameters, coronagraphy, and polarimetry
H. M. Schmid, A. Bazzon, R. Roelfsema +59
We describe the Zurich Imaging Polarimeter (ZIMPOL), the visual focal plane subsystem of the SPHERE "VLT planet finder", which pushes the limits of current AO systems to shorter wa…
ERIS: revitalising an adaptive optics instrument for the VLT
Richard Davies, Simone Esposito, Hans Martin Schmid +63
ERIS is an instrument that will both extend and enhance the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for the VLT. It will replace two instruments that ar…
SPHERE on-sky performance compared with budget predictions
Kjetil Dohlen, Arthur Vigan, David Mouillet +21
The SPHERE (spectro-photometric exoplanet research) extreme-AO planet hunter saw first light at the VLT observatory on Mount Paranal in May 2014 after ten years of development. Gre…
