The SPIE Optics + Photonics conference took place August 11 – 16 in San Diego. The SIOSLab attended, and presented two talks: Optical design of a modular segmented space telescope and Exploration of the dynamical phase space of stars with known planets.
New Paper in The Astronomical Journal
Our new paper entitled “Detecting Planets from Direct-imaging Observations Using Common Spatial Pattern Filtering” has been published in The Astronomical Journal. It can be found here.
Direct Imaging Post-Processing Research Update
We have been working on using Common Spatial Pattern filtering in a novel method to detect exoplanets from direct imaging. Using just time-series data, CSP filtering can identify a known exoplanet, Beta Pictorus b (in image below). Right now, work
