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…
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…
Optical modeling for the evaluation of HOWFSC on embedded processors
Kian Milani, Ewan Douglas, Leonid Pogorelyuk +5
The correction of quasi-static wavefront errors within a coronagraphic optical system will be a key challenge to overcome in order to directly image exoplanets in reflected light.…
