Abstract
We propose a class of graded coronagraphic “amplitude” image masks for a high throughput Lyot-type coronagraph that transmits light from an annular region around an extended source and suppresses light, with extremely high ratio, from elsewhere. The interior radius of the region is comparable with its exterior radius. The masks are designed using an idea inspired by approach due M. J. Kuchner and W. A. Traub (“band-limited” masks) and approach to optimal apodization by D. Slepian. One potential application of our masks is direct high-resolution imaging of exo-planets with the help of the Solar Gravitational Lens, where apparent radius of the “Einstein ring” image of a planet is of the order of an arc-second and is comparable with the apparent radius of the sun and solar corona.
我们提出了一类梯度日冕“振幅”图像掩模,用于高通量lyot型日冕仪,该日冕仪传输来自扩展光源周围环状区域的光,并以极高的比例抑制来自其他地方的光。区域的内部半径与其外部半径相当。口罩的设计灵感来自于M. J. Kuchner和W. A. Traub(“带限制”口罩)的方法和D. Slepian的最佳化方法。我们的掩模的一个潜在应用是在太阳引力透镜的帮助下直接对系外行星进行高分辨率成像,其中行星的“爱因斯坦环”图像的视半径是一弧秒的数量级,与太阳和日冕的视半径相当。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation (JAI) publishes papers describing instruments and components being proposed, developed, under construction and in use. JAI also publishes papers that describe facility operations, lessons learned in design, construction, and operation, algorithms and their implementations, and techniques, including calibration, that are fundamental elements of instrumentation. The journal focuses on astronomical instrumentation topics in all wavebands (Radio to Gamma-Ray) and includes the disciplines of Heliophysics, Space Weather, Lunar and Planetary Science, Exoplanet Exploration, and Astroparticle Observation (cosmic rays, cosmic neutrinos, etc.). Concepts, designs, components, algorithms, integrated systems, operations, data archiving techniques and lessons learned applicable but not limited to the following platforms are pertinent to this journal. Example topics are listed below each platform, and it is recognized that many of these topics are relevant to multiple platforms. Relevant platforms include: Ground-based observatories[...] Stratospheric aircraft[...] Balloons and suborbital rockets[...] Space-based observatories and systems[...] Landers and rovers, and other planetary-based instrument concepts[...]
