Extreme adaptive optics for the Thirty Meter Telescope
- B. Macintosh, M. Troy, +20 authors Daniel Hackett
- Physics, Engineering
- SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 2 May 2006
Direct detection of extrasolar Jovian planets is a major scientific motivation for the construction of future extremely large telescopes such as the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). Such detection will… Expand
Science yield estimate with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope coronagraph
- W. Traub, J. Breckinridge, T. Greene, O. Guyon, N. Jeremy Kasdin, B. Macintosh
- Physics, Engineering
- 2016
Abstract. The coronagraph instrument (CGI) on the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope will directly image and spectrally characterize planets and circumstellar disks around nearby stars. Here we… Expand
The Gemini Planet Imager
- B. Macintosh, J. Graham, +16 authors J. Véran
- Physics, Engineering
- SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 14 June 2006
The next major frontier in the study of extrasolar planets is direct imaging detection of the planets themselves. With high-order adaptive optics, careful system design, and advanced coronagraphy, it… Expand
DIRECT IMAGING OF AN ASYMMETRIC DEBRIS DISK IN THE HD 106906 PLANETARY SYSTEM
Author(s): Kalas, PG; Rajan, A; Wang, JJ; Millar-Blanchaer, MA; Duchene, G; Chen, C; Fitzgerald, MP; Dong, R; Graham, JR; Patience, J; Macintosh, B; Murray-Clay, R; Matthews, B; Rameau, J; Marois, C;… Expand
Exoplanet detection with simultaneous spectral differential imaging: effects of out-of-pupil-plane optical aberrations
- C. Marois, Don Phillion, B. Macintosh
- Physics, Engineering
- SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 14 June 2006
Imaging faint companions (exoplanets and brown dwarfs) around nearby stars is currently limited by speckle noise. To efficiently attenuate this noise, a technique called simultaneous spectral… Expand
MEMS-based extreme adaptive optics for planet detection
- B. Macintosh, J. Graham, B. Oppenheimer, L. Poyneer, A. Sivaramakrishnan, J. Véran
- Physics, Engineering
- SPIE MOEMS-MEMS
- 18 November 2005
The next major step in the study of extrasolar planets will be the direct detection, resolved from their parent star, of a significant sample of Jupiter-like extrasolar giant planets. Such detection… Expand
The Gemini planet imager: first light and commissioning
- B. Macintosh, A. Anthony, +50 authors S. Wolff
- Physics, Engineering
- Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation
- 7 August 2014
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a facility extreme-AO high-contrast instrument – optimized solely for study of faint companions – on the Gemini telescope. It combines a high-order MEMS AO system… Expand
eXtreme Adaptive Optics Planet Imager: overview and status
- B. Macintosh, Brian Bauman, +19 authors E. Wishnow
- Physics, Engineering
- SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 25 October 2004
As adaptive optics (AO) matures, it becomes possible to envision AO systems oriented towards specific important scientific goals rather than general-purpose systems. One such goal for the next decade… Expand
Wavefront control for the Gemini Planet Imager
- L. Poyneer, J. Véran, D. Dillon, S. Severson, B. Macintosh
- Physics, Engineering
- SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 14 April 2006
The wavefront control strategy for the proposed Gemini Planet Imager, an extreme adaptive optics coronagraph for planet detection, is presented. Two key parts of this strategy are experimentally… Expand
Adaptive optics high-resolution spectroscopy: present status and future direction
- Jian Ge, D. R. Ciarlo, +7 authors J. Najita
- Physics, Engineering
- Optics & Photonics
- 27 July 1999
High resolution spectroscopy experiments with visible adaptive optics (AO) telescopes at Starfire Optical Range and Mt. Wilson have demonstrated that spectral resolution can be routinely improved by… Expand
