摘要
We review the design, performance, and future prospects for the Hybrid Lyot Coronagraph (HLC) on the WFIRST-AFTA telescope. Together with a pair of deformable mirrors for active wavefront control, the HLC creates high contrast dark fields of view at 10(-9) contrast levels, extending to within angular separations of 3 lambda(0)/D from the central star, over spectral bandwidths of 10% or more.
