SPIE Optics + Photonics 2017

Quite a few of us attended the SPIE Optics + Photonics conference on 6-11 August 2017 in sunny San Diego, CA. Daniel Garrett presented his paper “Detected exoplanet population distributions found analytically.” Dmitry Savransky presented his paper “Multi-mission modeling for space-based exoplanet imagers.”  Jacob Shapiro presented his paper “Planet signal extraction from direct imaging using common spatial pattern filtering.” Gabriel Soto presented his papers “Starshade orbital maneuver study for WFIRST” and “Optimization of high-inclination orbits using planetary flybys for a zodiacal light-imaging mission.”
