To capture an image of the exoplanet without the star, the new coronagraph design uses a mode sorter to isolate and eliminate light from the star and an inverse mode sorter to recompose the optical ...

Researchers developed a new coronagraph that could make it possible to see exoplanets that are normally obscured by light from their parent stars. The images show theoretical, experimental and ...

The video shows theoretical and experimental results from using the new method for direct imaging measurements of an artificial exoplanet (white crosshairs) passing in front of a simulated star. The ...
