Spiders in Lyot Coronagraphs

In principle, suppression of on-axis stellar light by a coronagraph is easier on an unobscured aperture telescope than on one with an obscured aperture. Recent designs such as the apodized pupil Lyot coronagraph, the ‘band-limited’ Lyot coronagraph, and several variants of phase mask coronagraphs work best on unobscured circular aperture telescopes. These designs are developed to enable the dis...

Tip-tilt Error in Lyot Coronagraphs

The direct detection of extrasolar planets by imaging means is limited by the large flux of light from the host star being scattered into the region of interest by a variety of processes, including diffraction. Coronagraphs are devices that suppress the undesirable scattering of light caused by diffraction. In a coronagraph the sensitivity limit for high dynamic range is limited by the propagat...

Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraphs for Arbitrary Telescope Apertures

In the context of high dynamic range imaging, this study presents a breakthrough for the understanding of Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraphs, making them available for arbitrary aperture shapes. These new solutions find immediate application in current, ground-based coronagraphic studies (Gemini, VLT) and in existing instruments (AEOS Lyot Project). They also offer the possib-lity of a search for...

Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph Working Without Lyot Stop

Aims. In the context of high contrast imaging, we propose to evaluate the performance of the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) working without Lyot Stop, namely Stop-less Lyot Coronagraph (SLLC). This coronagraph is a combination of an entrance pupil apodizer and an opaque mask in the following focal plane. However, contrary to APLC, SLLC is amputated by the traditional pupil stop. Our goa...

Introduction to stellar coronagraphy

This paper gives a simple and original presentation of various coronagraphs inherited from the Lyot coronagraph. We first present the Lyot and Roddier phase mask coronagraphs and study their properties as a function of the focal mask size. We show that the Roddier phase mask can be used to produce an apodization for the star. Optimal coronagraphy can be obtained from two main approaches, using ...
