Scientific paper

HiCIAO is a new high-contrast instrument for the Subaru telescope. HiCIAO will be used in conjunction with the new adaptive optics system (188 actuators and/or its laser guide star - AO188/LGSAO188) at the Subaru infrared Nasmyth platform. It is designed as a flexible camera comprising several modules that can be configured into different modes of operation. The main modules are the AO module with its future extreme AO capability, the warm coronagraph module, and the cold infrared camera module. HiCIAO can combine coronagraphic techniques with either polarization or spectral simultaneous differential imaging modes with minimizing efforts for non-common path errors. In this contribution, we will outline the HiCIAO instrument, the development status, our proposed campaign on the Subaru 8.2m telescope for extensive exoplanet/disk imaging searches.
