Modal estimation of high-order wavefront drifts on coronagraphic testbeds for high-contrast direct imaging of exoplanets
Saikrishna Manojkumar, Susan F. Redmond, Leonid Pogorelyuk +13
Long-term wavefront stability will be critical for the upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory which aims to directly image exo-Earths. Mechanical and thermal instabilities induce sl…
A parameter scan of dark zone maintenance for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets using theoretical and experimental implementations
Saikrishna Manojkumar, Christine L. Page, Leonid Pogorelyuk +14
Maintaining wavefront stability while directly imaging exoplanets over long exposure times is an ongoing problem in the field of high-contrast imaging. Robust and efficient high-or…
Current laboratory performance of starlight suppression systems, and potential pathways to desired Habitable Worlds Observatory exoplanet science capabilities
Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por +34
We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems des…
Spectrally dispersed kernel phase interferometry with SCExAO/CHARIS: proof of concept and calibration strategies
Alexander Chaushev, Steph Sallum, Julien Lozi +7
Kernel phase interferometry (KPI) is a data processing technique that allows for the detection of asymmetries (such as companions or disks) in high-Strehl images, close to and with…
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument Observation Calibration Plan
Robert T. Zellem, Bijan Nemati, Guillermo Gonzalez +20
NASA's next flagship mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, is a 2.4-meter observatory set to launch no later than May 2027. Roman features two instruments: the Wide Field…
Dark zone maintenance results for segmented aperture wavefront error drift in a high contrast space coronagraph
Susan F. Redmond, Laurent Pueyo, Leonid Pogorelyuk +8
Due to the limited number of photons, directly imaging planets requires long integration times with a coronagraphic instrument. The wavefront must be stable on the same time scale,…
