TL;DR: The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) as discussed by the authors is a system for direct imaging of the planets themselves, which can achieve contrast levels of 10-7 to 10-8, sufficient to detect warm self-luminous Jovian planets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present several biases that are uncovered while analyzing data on the HR8799 planetary system and how they have modified their analysis pipeline to calibrate or remove these effects so that high accuracy photometry and photometry is achievable.

TL;DR: This paper presents the foundations of a modeling method for the AO optical transfer function, based on an analytical description of the residual phase spatial power spectrum, in an IDL-based code, and comparison with end-to-end simulations demonstrates the validity of this approach.

TL;DR: Predictive Fourier control is a temporal power spectral density-based adaptive method for adaptive optics that predicts the atmosphere under the assumption of frozen flow and improves atmospheric rejection, leading to significant improvements in system performance.

TL;DR: The modal basis is the real Fourier basis, which allows direct control of specific regions of the point-spread function and is computationally efficient enough to be implemented with off-the-shelf technology for a 2.5 kHz, 64 x 64 adaptive optics system.
