Gemini Planet Imager
(GPI)
(infrared instrument to overcome signal noise imaging exoplanets)
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is near-infrared imager
installed in Gemini South (Gemini Observatory)
aimed at detecting the infrared light from
young gas giant extra-solar planets. It includes adaptive optics
and a coronagraph along with a camera.
It saw first light in 2013 and began regular operation in 2014.
GPI has been down since 2020 for the deployment of GPI 2.0, an
upgrade aiming for operation in 2024.
