  1. 2019 Spirit of Lyot Conference Report

    November 8, 2019

    In late October, a subset of the Makidon lab group set out to Tokyo to attend the “Spirit of Lyot” conference. Happening only every 3-5 years, this conference brings together everybody working in high-contrast imaging, sharing their work in the spirit of Bernard Lyot, the inventor of the coronagraph.

  6. HiCAT: First Results with the COFFEE Wavefront Sensor

    April 4, 2018

    Last week, Jean-François Sauvage (from the Office National d’Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales and the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Marseille) has been invited by STScI to come to the Makidon Lab to implement and test the COFFEE wavefront sensor on HiCAT data.

  7. JOST: Installation of the HiCAT Python Package

    March 28, 2018

    For a couple of years now, our group had been doing really good work in developing first-class coronagraph technology and wavefront sensing techniques for segmented apertures. During this process, one of the focus points of the work is to create a concise python package which controls the HiCAT testbed and its environment and which would eventually be ready to be freely shared for implementation on other high-contrast testbeds.
