Progress toward a demonstration of high contrast imaging at ultraviolet wavelengths
Kyle Van Gorkom, Ramya M. Anche, Christopher B. Mendillo +9
NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to achieve starlight suppression to the level for the detection and spectral characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. Br…
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 7. design, fabrication, and first light for a self-coherent camera
Kevin Derby, Kian Milani, Grace C. Hathaway +10
The 2020 Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics tasked future space observatories with the goal of detecting and characterizing a large sample of Earth-like exoplanets. To ac…
The Space Coronagraph Optical Bench (SCoOB): 6. demonstration of Lyot low order wavefront control combined with high order wavefront control using a vortex coronagraph
Kian Milani, Kyle Van Gorkom, Chris B. Mendillo +6
To reach and maintain high contrast levels, coronagraph instruments will require a combination of low-order and high-order wavefront control techniques to correct for dynamic wavef…
Performance predictions and contrast limits for an ultraviolet high contrast imaging testbed
Kyle Van Gorkom, Ramya M. Anche, Christopher B. Mendillo +7
NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) concept and the 2020 Decadal Survey's recommendation to develop a large space telescope to "detect and characterize Earth-like extrasolar…
