High order Adaptive Optics Requirements and feasibility for high contrast imaging
Abstract
In the frame of the VLT Planet-Finder project, the phase A system study has demonstrated the feasibility of an extreme adaptive optics system aimed at the direct detection of extrasolar giant planets. The main results of this study are presented in this paper.
