Digital twin of MagAO-X telescope enables forward modeling of coronagraphic images
A fully physical, differentiable digital twin of the MagAO-X high-contrast imaging system was developed. It uses wavefront sensor data to model the stellar PSF, avoiding self-subtraction of the companion signal in post-processing. Laboratory tests confirmed feasibility.
Why it matters
The news illustrates the use of digital twins for accurate modeling of complex optical systems, relevant to control and analysis in high-tech industries.
