In this AI Podcast, astronomers Olivier Guyon and Damien Gratadour how they’re using GPU-powered extreme adaptive optics in very large telescopes to image nearby habitable planets.
Imagine staring into the high-beams of an oncoming car. Now imagine trying to pick out a speck of dust in the glare of the headlights. That’s the challenge Olivier Guyon and Damien Gratadour face as they try to find the dull glint of an exoplanet — a planet orbiting a star outside our solar system — beside the bright light of its star.
- Olivier Guyon is an associate professor at The University of Arizona’s College of Optical Sciences and SCExAO Project Scientist at the Subaru Telescope.
- Damien Gratadour is an Instrument Scientist at ANU.
