VLT/SPHERE exploration of the young multiplanetary system PDS70

D. Mesa, M. Keppler, F. Cantalloube +51

Context. PDS 70 is a young (5.4 Myr), nearby (~113 pc) star hosting a known transition disk with a large gap. Recent observations with SPHERE and NACO in the near-infrared (NIR) al…

Speckle temporal stability in XAO coronagraphic images II. Refine model for quasi-static speckle temporal evolution for VLT/SPHERE

P. Martinez, M. Kasper, A. Costille +4

Observing sequences have shown that the major noise source limitation in high-contrast imaging is due to the presence of quasi-static speckles. The timescale on which quasi-static…

Speckle Temporal Stability in eXtreme Adaptive Optics Coronagraphic Images

P. Martinez, C. Loose, E. Aller Carpentier +1

The major noise source limiting high-contrast imaging is due to the presence of quasi-static speckles. Speckle noise originates from wavefront errors caused by various independent…
