An on-sky investigation into factors limiting the performance of Keck-NIRC2 for conducting infrared high-contrast imaging
On-sky tests quantify additional throughput loss, background elevation, fast sky variability, and a derotator-induced background pattern that all limit NIRC2 high-contrast imaging at 3-5 microns.
