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…

The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the SCAO module AIT in France, from the beta flat configuration towards the flat and final configurations

Yann Clénet, Vincent Lapeyrère, Eric Gendron +45

MICADO is the designated ELT first light instrument, a near-infrared imager working at the diffraction limit of the telescope thanks to a SCAO and an MCAO mode. Since summer 2024,…

The MICADO first-light imager for the ELT: first steps of the SCAO system MAIT

Yann Clénet, Eric Gendron, Fabrice Vidal +39

MICADO is the ELT first light instrument, an imager working at the diffraction limit of the telescope thanks to two adaptive optics (AO) modes: a single conjugate one (SCAO), avail…

SAXO+, the second-stage adaptive optics for SPHERE: NCPA compensation and dark-hole loop with a pyramid wavefront sensor

Johan Mazoyer, Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher +21

The SAXO+ upgrade of the VLT/SPHERE adaptive optics system introduces a second-stage near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to improve high-contrast imaging, making accurate calibr…

Non-common path aberration compensation and a dark hole loop with a pyramid adaptive optics system: Application to SAXO+

C. Goulas, R. Galicher, F. Vidal +16

In ground-based high-contrast instruments, non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) limit detection performance, as they are unseen by the adaptive optics (AO) wavefront sensor but impa…

The SPHERE infrared survey for exoplanets (SHINE). V. Complete observations, data reduction and analysis, detection performances, and final results

A. Chomez, P. Delorme, A. -M. Lagrange +117

During the past decade, state-of-the-art planet-finder instruments like SPHERE@VLT, coupling coronagraphic devices and extreme adaptive optics systems, unveiled, thanks to large su…
