Research work on the comparative analysis of several types of coronagraphs (Lyot, vortex, PIAA) in the context of exoplanet detection.
Objectives
- Evaluate the theoretical performance of different architectures
- Quantify the impact of optical aberrations
- Identify optimal configurations based on target type
Methodology
Complete numerical simulations including Fraunhofer propagation, coronagraphic masking, and the impact of adaptive optics.
Results
Publication of a summary article comparing achievable contrasts and recommending adapted observation strategies.
