Development of a near-infrared wide-field integral field unit by ultra-precision diamond cutting

Kosuke Kushibiki, Shinobu Ozaki, Masahiro Takeda +17

Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) is an observational method to obtain spatially resolved spectra over a specific field of view (FoV) in a single exposure. In recent years, near-in…

Characterizing Vibrations at the Subaru Telescope for the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics instrument

Julien Lozi, Olivier Guyon, Nemanja Jovanovic +6

Vibrations are a key source of image degradation in ground-based instrumentation, especially for high-contrast imaging instruments. Vibrations reduce the quality of the correction…

Tohoku-Hiroshima-Nagoya planetary spectra library: A method for characterizing planets in the visible to near infrared

Ramsey Lundock, Takashi Ichikawa, Hirofumi Okita +7

There has not been a comprehensive framework for comparing spectral data from different planets.Such a framework is needed for the study of extrasolar planets and objects within th…
