Polarization, the path traced by light's electric field vector, appears in all areas of optics. In
recent decades, various technologies have enabled the precise control of light's polarization …

Over the last two decades, several thousand exoplanets have been identified, and their
study has become a high scientific priority. Direct imaging of nearby exoplanets and the …

High-contrast adaptive optics (AO) imaging is a powerful technique to probe the
architectures of planetary systems from the outside-in and survey the atmospheres of self …

In this paper, we review the impact of small sample statistics on detection thresholds and
corresponding confidence levels (CLs) in high-contrast imaging at small angles. When …

Context. Large surveys with new-generation high-contrast imaging instruments are needed
to derive the frequency and properties of exoplanet populations with separations from~ 5 to …

Abstract We present the Vortex Image Processing (VIP) library, a python package dedicated
to astronomical high-contrast imaging. Our package relies on the extensive python stack of …

We apply the vectorized non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) method to the post-
processing of the direct imaging data of exoplanetary systems such as circumstellar disks …

Context. The direct imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets is one prime science case for
the next generation of high contrast imaging instruments on ground-based, extremely large …

After decades of fast-paced technical advances, optical/infrared (O/IR) interferometry has
seen a revolution in recent years:▪ The GRAVITY instrument at the Very Large Telescope …

Context. Angular differential imaging (ADI) and spectral differential imaging (SDI) are well-
established high-contrast imaging techniques, but their application is challenging for …
