This project develops advanced coronagraphs using liquid crystal technology to enhance the observation of habitable exoplanets. By improving starlight suppression, it aims to enable detailed imaging and characterization of planets near stars.
The 39-m European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) has the potential to directly observe and characterize habitable exoplanets, but current technologies are unable to sufficiently suppress the starlight very close to the star. I propose to develop a novel instrumental approach with breakthrough contrast performance by combining coronagraphs based on brand-new liquid crystal technology, and sensitive imaging polarimetry.
The novel coronagraphs will provide an achromatic rejection of starlight ev…
