Abstract: Imaging circumstellar discs in the near-infrared provides unprecedented information about the formation and evolution of planetary systems. However, current post-processing techniques for high-contrast imaging using ground-based telescopes have a limited sensitivity to extended signals and their morphology is often plagued with strong morphological distortions.
Abstract: Direct imaging of exoplanets is a challenging task as it requires to reach a high contrast at very close separation to the star. Today, the main limitation in the high-contrast images is the quasi-static speckles that are created by residual instrumental aberrations.
