研究実績の概要

The purpose of our project is to image Jupiter-like planets around nearby stars with the 8m Subaru Telescope and to prepare technology to image of smaller Earth-like planets with the larger TMT telescope.

In FY2014, we have worked closely with University of California Santa Barbara to start the construction of an advanced photon-counting camera working in the near-infrared. This camera, when combined with the existing Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) instrument, will make Subaru Telescope the world's most powerful telescope to image exoplanets. We have also advanced the SCExAO instrument's ability to remove starlight to observe exoplanets.

理由

Our main effort is to build, in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara, the advanced “MKIDs” near-IR camera. The camera is on schedule, with the most major components already delivered, and the overall camera assembly has started. The camera design is completed. The cryogenic enclosure for the camera has been completed and delivered.
To prepare for the arrival of the camera, we have started a collaboration with the University of Hawaii near-IR camera group. We are using their camera (SAPHIRA) to prepare fast image analysis tools we will need with the MKIDs camera.
We have also completed significant upgrades to the SCExAO instrument that will be combined with the camera.

今後の研究の推進方策

During this fiscal year (FY2015), the MKIDs camera will be completed, so that it can be tested and installed on the Subaru Telescope in FY2016. We will start on-sky observations with the camera in FY2016. During FY2015, we will continue development of image analysis algorithms with the University of Hawaii SAPHIRA camera. We will work closely with UC Santa Barbara to prepare the integration of the MKIDs camera with the Subaru Telescope instrument.
We will also advance the ability of the Subaru Telescope instrument to reject starlight with the development of optical masks.
