Design and performance of the PALM-3000 3.5 kHz upgrade
Seth R. Meeker, Tuan N. Truong, Jennifer E. Roberts +11
PALM-3000 (P3K), the second generation adaptive optics (AO) instrument for the 5.1 meter Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory, was released as a facility class instrument in Octob…
High-contrast imaging of tight resolved binaries with two vector vortex coronagraphs in cascade with the Palomar SDC instrument
Jonas Kuhn, Sebastian Daemgen, Ji Wang +6
More than half of the stars in the solar neighborhood reside in binary/multiple stellar systems, and recent studies suggest that gas giant planets may be more abundant around binar…
DARKNESS: A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Integral Field Spectrograph for High-Contrast Astronomy
Seth R. Meeker, Benjamin A. Mazin, Alex B. Walter +21
We present DARKNESS (the DARK-speckle Near-infrared Energy-resolving Superconducting Spectrophotometer), the first of several planned integral field spectrographs to use optical/ne…
Speckle suppression and companion detection using coherent differential imaging
Michael Bottom, J. Kent Wallace, Randall D. Bartos +2
Residual speckles due to aberrations arising from optical errors after the split between the wavefront sensor and the science camera path are the most significant barriers to imagi…
Stellar Double Coronagraph: a multistage coronagraphic platform at Palomar observatory
Michael Bottom, J. Chris Shelton, James K. Wallace +6
We present a new instrument, the "Stellar Double Coronagraph" (SDC), a flexible coronagraphic platform. Designed for Palomar Observatory's 200" Hale telescope, its two focal and pu…
Resolving the delta Andromedae spectroscopic binary with direct imaging
Michael Bottom, Jonas Kuhn, Bertrand Mennesson +4
We present a direct image of the innermost companion to the red giant delta Andromedae using the Stellar Double Coronagraph at the Palomar Observatory. We use a Markov chain Monte…
PULSE: The Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets
Christoph Baranec, Richard G. Dekany, Rick S. Burruss +8
The Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets (PULSE) will dramatically expand the science reach of PALM-3000, the facility high-contrast extreme adaptive optics system…
PULSE: Palomar Ultraviolet Laser for the Study of Exoplanets
Christoph Baranec, Richard Dekany, Marcos van Dam +1
PULSE is a new concept to augment the currently operating 5.1-m Hale PALM-3000 exoplanet adaptive optics system with an ultraviolet Rayleigh laser and associated wavefront sensor.…
PALM-3000: Exoplanet Adaptive Optics for the 5-meter Hale Telescope
R. Dekany, J. Roberts, R. Burruss +17
We describe and report first results from PALM-3000, the second-generation astronomical adaptive optics facility for the 5.1-m Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory. PALM-3000 has…
A Close Companion Search around L Dwarfs using Aperture Masking Interferometry and Palomar Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
David Bernat, Antonin H. Bouchez, Michael Ireland +22
We present a close companion search around sixteen known early-L dwarfs using aperture masking interferometry with Palomar laser guide star adaptive optics. The use of aperture mas…
