First results on a new PIAA coronagraph testbed at NASA Ames

Direct imaging of extrasolar planets, and Earth-like planets in particular, is an exciting but difficult problem requiring a telescope imaging system with 1010 contrast at separations of 100 mas and less. Furthermore, the current NASA science budget may only allow for a small 1-2 m space telescope f...
