Lessons for WFIRST CGI from ground-based high-contrast systems

Bailey, Vanessa P. Bottom, Michael Cady, Eric

The Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) for NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will constitute a dramatic step forward for high-contrast imaging, integral field spectroscopy, and polarimetry of exoplanets and circumstellar disks, aiming to improve upon the sensitivity of current ground-based direct imaging facilities by 2-3 orders of...

Integrated photonic-based coronagraphic systems for future space telescopes

Desai, Niyati König, Lorenzo Por, Emiel

The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars is a primary science motivation for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. However, the current best technology is not yet advanced enough to reach the 10−10 contrasts at close angular separations and at the same time remain insensitive to low-order aberrations, as...

Visible extreme adaptive optics on extremely large telescopes: towards detecting oxygen in Proxima Centauri b and analogs

Fowler, J. Haffert, Sebastiaan Y. van Kooten, Maaike A. M.

Looking to the future of exo-Earth imaging from the ground, core technology developments are required in visible Extreme Adaptive Optics (ExAO) to enable the observation of atmospheric features such as oxygen on rocky planets in visible light. UNDERGROUND (Ultra-fast AO techNology Determination for Exoplanet imageRs from the GROUND), a...
