Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental limitations of high contrast imaging set by small sample statistics
Dimitri Mawet,Julien Milli,Zahed Wahhaj,D. Pelat,Olivier Absil,Christian Delacroix,Anthony Boccaletti,Markus Kasper,Matthew A. Kenworthy,Christian Marois,Bertrand Mennesson,Laurent Pueyo +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of small sample statistics on detection thresholds and corresponding confidence levels (CLs) in high-contrast imaging at small angles is reviewed. But the authors do not consider the effect of small angles on the detection threshold.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Review of small-angle coronagraphic techniques in the wake of ground-based second-generation adaptive optics systems

Trauger,Szymon Gladysz,Eugene Serabyn,Julien Milli,Ruslan Belikov,Markus Kasper,Pierre Baudoz,Bruce Macintosh,Christian Marois,Ben R.

Wallace +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the state-of-the-art in high contrast imaging and their intricate interactions at very small angles (within the first 4 resolution elements from the star) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article observed the nucleus of NGC 4151 at 2.2 μm using the two 10 m Keck telescopes as an interferometer and found a marginally resolved source ≤ 0.1 pc in diameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported observations of a planet transiting AU Microscopii (AU Mic b), which has an orbital period of 846 days, an orbital distance of 007-astronomical units, a radius of 04-Jupiter radii, and a mass of less than 18 Jupiter masses at 3σ confidence.
