High dynamic range direct imaging of exoplanets with an off-axis Antarctic telescope

This thesis presents an analysis of the potential for high dynamic range direct imaging of exoplanets with a propsed off-axis Antarctic telescope named the Large Antarctic Plateau Clear-Aperture Telescope (LAPCAT). LAPCAT is a proposed 8.4 metre off-axis telescope with a deformable 1 m secondary mir...
