Abstract

Future extremely large telescopes, equipped with high-contrast instruments targeting very small Inner Working Angle, will provide the requisite resolution for detecting exoplanets in the habitable zone around M-stars. However, the ELT segmented pupil shape is unfavourable to high-contrast imaging. In this context, the SPEED project aims to develop and test solutions for high contrast with unfriendly apertures. SPEED will combine a PIAACMC coronagraph and two deformable mirrors for the wavefront shaping. In this paper, we describe an end-to-end model of SPEED, including the Fresnel wavefront propagation, the PIAACMC implementation and the dark hole algorithm, and present a statistical analysis of the predicted performance.
