SCExAO/CHARIS Spectroscopic Characterization of Cloudy L/T Transition Companion Brown Dwarf HIP 93398 B
Briley Lewis, Yiting Li, Aidan Gibbs +10
Brown dwarfs with measured dynamical masses and spectra from direct imaging are benchmarks that anchor substellar atmosphere cooling and evolution models. We present Subaru SCExAO/…
Real-time control and data standardization on various telescopes and benches
Nour Skaf, Rebecca Jensen-Clem, Aaron Hunter +19
Real-time control (RTC) is pivotal for any Adaptive Optics (AO) system, including high-contrast imaging of exoplanets and circumstellar environments. It is the brain of the AO syst…
Implementation and Characterization of the Vector Vortex Coronagraph on the SEAL Testbed
Ashai Moreno, Vincent Chambouleyron, Rebecca M. Jensen-Clem +3
The Santa Cruz Extreme AO Lab (SEAL) testbed is an optical bench meant to design and develop new wavefront control techniques for high-contrast imaging for segmented telescopes. Th…
The Keck-HGCA Pilot Survey II: Direct Imaging Discovery of HD 63754 B, a ~20 au Massive Companion Near the Hydrogen Burning Limit
Yiting Li, Timothy D. Brandt, Kyle Franson +15
We present the joint astrometric and direct imaging discovery, mass measurement, and orbital analysis of HD 63754 B (HIP 38216 B), a companion near the stellar-substellar boundary…
Subaru/CHARIS High-Resolution Mode Spectroscopy of the Brown Dwarf Companion HD 33632 Ab
Aidan Gibbs, Briley Lewis, Michael Fitzgerald +6
Brown dwarfs (BD) are model degenerate in age and mass. High-contrast imaging and spectroscopy of BD companions to host stars where the mass and age can be independently constraine…
Towards understanding interactions between the AO system and segment co-phasing with the vector-Zernike wavefront sensor on Keck
Maïssa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +14
We extend our previous demonstration of the first on-sky primary mirror segment closed-loop control on Keck using a vector-Zernike wavefront sensor (vZWFS), which improved the Stre…
The future looks dark: improving high contrast imaging with hyper-parameter optimization for data-driven predictive wavefront control
J. Fowler, Rebecca Jensen-Clem, Maaike A. M. van Kooten +2
The direct imaging and characterization of exoplanets requires extreme adaptive optics (XAO), achieving exquisite wavefront correction (upwards of 90 Strehl) over a narrow fiel…
Laboratory demonstration of an all-fiber-based focal plane nulling interferometer
Jordan Diaz, Rebecca Jensen-Clem, Daren Dillon +6
Starlight suppression techniques for High-Contrast Imaging (HCI) are crucial to achieving the demanding contrast ratios and inner working angles required for detecting and characte…
Photonic lantern wavefront reconstruction in a multi-wavefront sensor single-conjugate adaptive optics system
Aditya R. Sengupta, Jordan Diaz, Benjamin L. Gerard +6
Exoplanet direct imaging using adaptive optics (AO) is often limited by non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) and aberrations that are invisible to traditional pupil-plane wavefront…
Keck Primary Mirror Closed-Loop Segment Control using a Vector-Zernike Wavefront Sensor
Maissa Salama, Charlotte Guthery, Vincent Chambouleyron +17
We present the first on-sky segmented primary mirror closed-loop piston control using a Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS) installed on the Keck II telescope. Segment co-phasing error…
