MICADO, the first-light near-infrared imager for the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), will feature a dedicated high-contrast imaging mode designed specifically for observing and characterizing exoplanets and circumstellar disks. The instrument will deliver substantially higher sensitivity and angular resolutio...

The SAXO+ system is a planned second-stage Adaptive Optics (AO) upgrade to the VLT/SPHERE eXtreme Adaptive Optics (SAXO) system. This consists of adding a second adaptive optics stage using a near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to record images of fainter exoplanets around redder stars. In this work, we compare the...

SAXO+ is the second-stage adaptive optics (AO) system that will be added in cascade after SPHERE’s current extreme AO system at the VLT. This upgrade of SPHERE aims to improve coronagraphic contrast by a factor of 10 or more, close to the star, and to extend the performance to fainter, redder targets. To achieve these...
