Technological maturation of a Gigapixels Astrometry instrument for the Habitable World Observatory
This paper presents the development strategy for HWO-AGATE (Accurate Guiding and Astrometry Targeting Exoearths), a high-precision relative astrometry instrument concept designed for the future Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). The instrument is based on a gigapixel-class focal plane that incorporates the new generat...
