Astronomical Optical Interferometry from the Lunar Surface
Gerard van Belle, Tabetha Boyajian, Michelle Creech-Eakman +28
The lunar surface is a compelling location for large, distributed optical facilities, with significant advantages over orbital facilities for high spatial resolution astrophysics.…
Current laboratory performance of starlight suppression systems, and potential pathways to desired Habitable Worlds Observatory exoplanet science capabilities
Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por +34
We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems des…
Starshade Exoplanet Data Challenge
Renyu Hu, Sergi R. Hildebrandt, Mario Damiano +3
Starshade in formation flight with a space telescope is a rapidly maturing technology that would enable imaging and spectral characterization of small planets orbiting nearby stars…
Starshade Rendezvous: Exoplanet Sensitivity and Observing Strategy
Andrew Romero-Wolf, Geoffrey Bryden, Sara Seager +33
Launching a starshade to rendezvous with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would provide the first opportunity to directly image the habitable zones of nearby sunlike stars in…
Overview and Reassessment of Noise Budget of Starshade Exoplanet Imaging
Renyu Hu, Doug Lisman, Stuart Shaklan +3
High-contrast imaging enabled by a starshade in formation flight with a space telescope can provide a near-term pathway to search for and characterize temperate and small planets o…
Optical Verification Experiments of Sub-scale Starshades
Anthony Harness, Stuart Shaklan, Phillip Willems +7
Starshades are a leading technology to enable the detection and spectroscopic characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. In this paper we report on optical experiments of sub-scale…
