Segmented coronagraph design and analysis (SCDA): an initial design study of apodized vortex coronagraphs
Garreth Ruane, Jeffrey Jewell, Dimitri Mawet +2
The segmented coronagraph design and analysis (SCDA) study is a coordinated effort, led by Stuart Shaklan (JPL) and supported by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP), to pro…
Discovery of a point-like source and a third spiral arm in the transition disk around the Herbig Ae star MWC 758
M. Reggiani, V. Christiaens, O. Absil +20
Transition disks offer the extraordinary opportunity to look for newly born planets and investigate the early stages of planet formation. In this context we observed the Herbig A5…
Noise-weighted angular differential imaging
Michael Bottom, Garreth Ruane, Dimitri Mawet
Angular differential imaging (ADI) (Marois et al. 2006) is an observational technique in high contrast imaging where the telescope is used in pupil tracking mode so that the image…
A New Standard for Assessing the Performance of High Contrast Imaging Systems
Rebecca Jensen-Clem, Dimitri Mawet, Carlos A. Gomez Gonzalez +8
As planning for the next generation of high contrast imaging instruments (e.g. WFIRST, HabEx, and LUVOIR, TMT-PFI, EELT-EPICS) matures, and second-generation ground-based extreme a…
Performance and sensitivity of vortex coronagraphs on segmented space telescopes
Garreth Ruane, Dimitri Mawet, Jeffrey Jewell +1
The detection of molecular species in the atmospheres of earth-like exoplanets orbiting nearby stars requires an optical system that suppresses starlight and maximizes the sensitiv…
Implementing focal-plane phase masks optimized for real telescope apertures with SLM-based digital adaptive coronagraphy
Jonas Kühn, Patapis Polychronis, Garreth Ruane +1
Direct imaging of exoplanets or circumstellar disk material requires extreme contrast at the 10-6 to 10-12 levels at < 100 mas angular separation from the star. Focal-plane mask (F…
