Reinforcement learning for post-coronagraphic wavefront control

Manuela Castañeda-Medina, Yann Gutierrez, Johan Mazoyer +3

Direct imaging of exoplanets is limited by the extreme contrast between the star and the planets, which is mitigated using a coronagraph. However, optical aberrations cause starlig…

A semi-analytical surrogate model for giant planet evolution: bypassing ordinary differential equation solvers with localised thermodynamics, softplus asymptotes, and B-spline photometry

Christian Wilkinson, Jonas Wehrung-Montpezat, Benjamin Charnay +7

Context. Evolutionary models translate the observable luminosity, temperature, and colours of giant planets and brown dwarfs into mass and age. Generating their cooling tracks norm…

The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program: trials and triumphs of designing an observing program for a technology demonstration instrument

Schuyler G. Wolff, Vanessa P. Bailey, Justin Hom +19

The Coronagraph Instrument onboard the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope serves as a crucial technology pathfinder for the Habitable Worlds Observatory, with on-sky verification of…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

First high-contrast results on THD2 testbed after infrastructure upgrade

Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz, Rémi Soummer +17

We present the first scientific results delivered by the upgraded THD2 high-contrast imaging testbed. We report two advances enabled by its improved stability and broadband perform…

Enhanced wavefront sensing for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument: Gaussian probes and compact model validation

Lukas Delaye, Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz +10

The Coronagraph Instrument on the Roman Space Telescope will be the first space-based system to demonstrate closed-loop focal-plane wavefront sensing and control, a key step toward…
