Addressing the low-wind effect with the Lyot-based low-order wavefront sensor on SCExAO

Garima Singh, Sebastien Vievard, Julien Lozi +5

The Low-Wind Effect (LWE) is a well-known issue that affects the coronagraphic capabilities of instruments optimized to take direct images of exoplanets. This effect is prominent i…

AO3k + SCExAO: on-sky wavefront quality and demonstration of novel WFS techniques with the double XAO system

Julien Lozi, Kyohoon Ahn, Vincent Deo +5

The Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) system, fed by its upstream 3000-actuator "woofer" (AO3k), serves both as a platform for high contrast imaging (HCI) techn…

Characterization of the stabilized nulling interferometry testbed PERSÉE

Julien Lozi

Observing exoplanets is hindered by high stellar contrast and tiny angular separation. Nulling interferometry addresses this by recombining two pupils for destructive interference…

The Photonic Lantern Nuller: from concept to laboratory and on-sky demonstrations

Yinzi Xin, Nemanja Jovanovic, Dimitri Mawet +18

This thesis work presents the conceptual design and experimental characterization of the Photonic Lantern Nuller instrument, which uses a multimode-to-single-mode demultiplexing wa…

Instrumental artifacts in photonic lantern spectroastrometry and their mitigation with PLred

Yoo Jung Kim, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Malena Bloom +10

Spectroastrometry is a powerful spectral-differential technique for probing angular scales below the resolution limit, but it is also well known to be susceptible to instrumental a…

SCExAO/CHARIS High-Contrast Pre-Launch Vetting of Roman Coronagraph Technology Demonstration PSF Reference Stars

Thayne Currie, Jie Li, Mona El Morsy +9

We present deep, SCExAO/CHARIS high-contrast integral field spectroscopy and archival imaging of four candidate Roman Coronagraph PSF reference stars within/near the Roman Continuo…
