Estimating differential pistons for the Extremely Large Telescope using focal plane imaging and a residual network
P. Janin-Potiron, M. Gray, B. Neichel +6
As the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) approaches operational status, optimising its imaging performance is critical. A differential piston, arising from either the adaptive optics…
Three-sided pyramid wavefront sensor. II. Preliminary demonstration on the new CACTI testbed
Lauren Schatz, Johanan Codona, Joseph D. Long +17
The next generation of giant ground and space telescopes will have the light-collecting power to detect and characterize potentially habitable terrestrial exoplanets using high-con…
The Three-Sided PyramidWavefront Sensor. I. Simulations and Analysis for Astronomical Adaptive Optics
Lauren Schatz, Jared R. Males, Carlos Correia +11
For ExAO instruments for the Giant Segmented Mirror Telescopes (GSMTs), alternative architectures of WFS are under consideration because there is a tradeoff between detector size,…
The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE) -- II. Observations, Data reduction and analysis Detection performances and early-results
M. Langlois, R. Gratton, A. -M. Lagrange +118
Over the past decades, direct imaging has confirmed the existence of substellar companions (exoplanets or brown dwarfs) on wide orbits (>10 au) from their host stars. To understand…
INGOT Wavefront Sensor: from the optical design to a preliminary laboratory test
Simone Di Filippo, Davide Greggio, Maria Bergomi +13
The Ingot wavefront sensor is a novel pupil-plane wavefront sensor, specifically designed to cope with the elongation typical of the extended nature of the Laser Guide Star (LGS).…
Pyramid wavefront sensor optical gains compensation using a convolutional model
Vincent Chambouleyron, Olivier Fauvarque, Pierre Janin-Potiron +5
Extremely Large Telescopes have overwhelmingly opted for the Pyramid wavefront sensor (PyWFS) over the more widely used Shack-Hartmann WaveFront Sensor (SHWFS) to perform their Sin…
First resolved observations of a highly asymmetric debris disc around HD 160305 with VLT/SPHERE
Clément Perrot, Philippe Thebault, Anne-Marie Lagrange +36
Context. Direct imaging of debris discs gives important information about their nature, their global morphology, and allows us to identify specific structures possibly in connectio…
Two cold belts in the debris disk around the G-type star NZ Lup
A. Boccaletti, P. Thébault, N. Pawellek +36
Planetary systems hold the imprint of the formation and of the evolution of planets especially at young ages, and in particular at the stage when the gas has dissipated leaving mos…
Adaptive optics with programmable Fourier-based wavefront sensors: a spatial light modulator approach to the LOOPS testbed
Pierre Janin-Potiron, Vincent Chambouleyron, Lauren Schatz +10
Wavefront sensors encode phase information of an incoming wavefront into an intensity pattern that can be measured on a camera. Several kinds of wavefront sensors (WFS) are used in…
Kernel formalism applied to Fourier based wave front sensing in presence of residual phases
Olivier Fauvarque, Pierre Janin-Potiron, Carlos Correia +5
In this paper, we describe Fourier-based Wave Front Sensors (WFS) as linear integral operators, characterized by their Kernel. In a first part, we derive the dependency of this qua…
Analytical decomposition of Zernike and hexagonal modes over an hexagonal segmented optical aperture
Pierre Janin-Potiron, Patrice Martinez, Marcel Carbillet
Zernike polynomials are widely used to describe the wavefront phase as they are well suited to the circular geometry of various optical apertures. Non-conventional optical systems,…
Observations of fast-moving features in the debris disk of AU Mic on a three-year timescale: Confirmation and new discoveries
A. Boccaletti, E. Sezestre, A. -M. Lagrange +60
The nearby and young M star AU Mic is surrounded by a debris disk in which we previously identified a series of large-scale arch-like structures that have never been seen before in…
Investigating the young Solar System analog HD95086
G. Chauvin, R. Gratton, M. Bonnefoy +57
HD95086 (A8V, 17Myr) hosts a rare planetary system for which a multi-belt debris disk and a giant planet of 4-5MJup have been directly imaged. Our study aims to characterize the ph…
Discovery of a warm, dusty giant planet around HIP65426
G. Chauvin, S. Desidera, A. -M. Lagrange +120
The SHINE program is a large high-contrast near-infrared survey of 600 young, nearby stars. It is aimed at searching for and characterizing new planetary systems using VLT/SPHERE's…
Fine cophasing of segmented aperture telescopes with ZELDA, a Zernike wavefront sensor in the diffraction-limited regime
Pierre Janin-Potiron, Mamadou N'Diaye, Patrice Martinez +3
Segmented aperture telescopes require an alignment procedure with successive steps from coarse alignment to monitoring process in order to provide very high optical quality images…
The self-coherent camera as a focal plane fine phasing sensor
Pierre Janin-Potiron, Patrice Martinez, Pierre Baudoz +1
Direct imaging of Earth-like exoplanets requires high contrast imaging capability and high angular resolution. Primary mirror segmentation is a key technological solution for large…
