FIRST-PL: on-sky retrieval of Humu’s (Altair) spin axis using a photonic lantern on Subaru Telescope

The FIRST-PL instrument on the Subaru Telescope enables a new observational capability: measuring stellar spin orientations for indirect constraints on exoplanet orbital geometry. We describe the instrument and demonstrate data reduction techniques to measure the spin orientation of Humu (Altair), whose apparent size i...

Point spread function subtraction using telemetry data: one more step on the path to reaching the photon-noise limit in high-contrast imaging

Current HCI systems are limited by residual starlight, resulting from atmospheric turbulence unseen by the adaptive optics system or stemming from imperfections in the optical system itself. This leads to speckles in the PSF of the final images inhibiting our detection capabilities. Reaching the photon-noise limit in h...

Using AO telemetry to characterize scintillation for high-precision transit photometry

Transiting exoplanets make up the majority of known exoplanet systems, providing invaluable insights into planetary demographics and compositions. Photometric follow-up observations are essential for confirming candidates, refining their orbital and physical parameters, and enabling atmospheric characterization. Howeve...

Updating the SCExAO/CHARIS polarimetric calibration following the Nasmyth beam-switcher upgrade

Subaru/SCExAO/CHARIS enables near-infrared integral field spectropolarimetry. Quantitative polarimetry is useful for a variety of science cases, particularly measurements related to dust grain properties in circumstellar disks. This capability requires correcting for polarization effects from the optical path via a Mue...
