Hinkley, Sasha, Oppenheimer, Ben R., Soummer, Remi, Brenner, Douglas, Graham, James R., Perrin, Marshall D., ...
We demonstrate the versatility of a dual imaging polarimeter working in tandem with a Lyot coronagraph and Adaptive Optics to suppress the highly static speckle noise pattern--the greatest hindrance...
Turner, Nils H., Brummelaar, Theo A. Ten, Roberts Jr., Lewis C., Mason, Brian D., Hartkopf, William I., Gies, Douglas R.
We present the results of an adaptive optics survey for faint companions among Galactic O-type star systems (V < 8) using the Advanced Electro-Optical System (AEOS) 3.6-meter telescope on Haleakala....
The Solar-System-Scale Disk Around AB Aurigae (2008)
Oppenheimer, Ben R., Brenner, Douglas, Hinkley, Sasha, Zimmerman, Neil, Sivaramakrishnan, Anand, Soummer, Remi, ...
The young star AB Aurigae is surrounded by a complex combination of gas-rich and dust dominated structures. The inner disk which has not been studied previously at sufficient resolution and imaging...
First Light With The "kermit" (2008)
Marshall D. Perrin, James R. Graham, Michael Trumpis, James P. Lloyd, ...
Kermit is an infrared astronomical camera built by the University of Hawaii and the University of California, Berkeley, for high dynamic range observations with the AEOS adaptive optics system,...
Characterization of the near-Earth Asteroid 2002NY40 (2007)
Roberts, Lewis C., Hall, Doyle T., Lambert, John V., Africano, John L., Knox, Keith T., ...
In August 2002, the near-Earth asteroid 2002 NY40, made its closest approach to the Earth. This provided an opportunity to study a near-Earth asteroid with a variety of instruments. Several of the...
Temporal Evolution of Coronagraphic Dynamic Range, and Constraints on Companions to Vega (2006)
Hinkley, Sasha, Oppenheimer, Ben R., Soummer, Remi, Sivaramakrishnan, Anand, Roberts Jr., Lewis C., Kuhn, Jeffrey, ...
The major obstacle to the direct detection of companions to nearby stars is the overwhelming brightness of the host star. Current instruments employing the combination of adaptive optics (AO) and...
Maui Space Surveillance System Phased Array (1998)
Long baseline Interferometry is a technique where light from two or more telescopes is combined, creating interference fringes. Analysis of the interference fringes allows information to be exacted...
