ADONIS high contrast infrared imaging of Sirius-B
Context. Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and a strong source of diffuse light for modern telescopes so that the immediate surroundings of the star are still poorly known. Aims. We study the close surroundings of the star (2 to 25′′) by means of adaptive optics and coronographic device in the near-infrared, using the ESO/ADONIS system. Methods. The resulting high contrast images in the J...

The vortex coronagraph is a transparent phase-based coronagraph which imprints an eilθ phase ramp (or screw dislocation) on the point spread function (PSF) of the telescope+instrument. l is called the topological charge of the vortex, and quantifies the number of times the phase goes through 2π radians. For the vortex to be an efficient coronagraph, the topological charge has to be a non-zero e...
متن کاملHigh-resolution infrared imaging
The hands and mind of an artist are intimately involved in the creative process of image formation, intrinsically making paintings significantly more complex than photographs to analyze. In spite of this difficulty, several years ago the artist David Hockney and I identified optical evidence within a number of paintings that demonstrated artists began using optical projections as early as c1425...

\Ve describe an alternative design for t he 4-quadrant phase mask coronagraph described recently by Rouan et al. (2000) . Based on the same principle. i.e. producing a very efficient nulling by mutually destructive interferences of the coherent light from the main source. our mask realises the " phase shift using some properties of ZOGs (Zeroth Order Gratings) and according to an original schem...
متن کاملHigh-definition infrared spectroscopic imaging.
The quality of images from an infrared (IR) microscope has traditionally been limited by considerations of throughput and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). An understanding of the achievable quality as a function of instrument parameters, from first principals is needed for improved instrument design. Here, we first present a model for light propagation through an IR spectroscopic imaging system ba...
