Worlds like Tatooine—the iconic twin-sun planet from Star Wars—are no longer confined to science fiction; they have entered the realm of modern astrophysics. These distant worlds, orbiting stars ...

See current capabilities for details. SCExAO's main goal is to image exoplanets and disks around nearby stars. The SCExAO instrument is permanently installed at the focus of the 8.2m diameter Subaru ...

Abstract: Vector vortex waveplates (VVWs) have a potential of revolutionizing coronagraphy and other space imaging and communication systems. Extensive experimentation identified the role of factors ...

Due to the lapse in federal government funding, NASA is not updating this website. A coronagraph for achieving high-contrast is one of the two key technologies being studied for exoplanet imaging (the ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

We use observations with the infrared-optimized Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) system and Clio camera in 3.9 mu m light to place stringent mass constraints on possible undetected companions to ...

All of the NIRCam coronagraphic apertures appear to not be reversible when transforming between sci/det pixel coordinates and idl/tel angular coordinates, then back. So, we're seeing an inconsistency ...

The first exoplanet was discovered in the 1990s, but astronomers didn’t capture a direct image of one until more than a decade later. Imaging exoplanets is incredibly challenging because their host ...
