First semester meeting

• Segment-to-segment variation
  • integrate over bandpass (incoherent halo!)
• Coronagraph architectures
  • Perfect coronagraphs? PCS, PSI don't have
  • MODHIS uses a VFN
  • METIS has a vAPP (wavelengths probably too long), only interesting if we add the
• Full instrument Jones pupil
  • include AO bench, Al or Ag coatings
• simulated debris disk imaging
  • generate polarized disk
  • limits on coronagraphy
  • limits on polarization aberrations

Future paper: case study with a whole instrument!

[Jashcraf]

Do a bunch of forward propagations for M1 - but then use the on-axis noncoronagraphic psf for M2
