Wavefront Phase Retrieval with Non-linear Curvature Sensors
P. L. Aisher, J. Crass, C. Mackay
Increasing interest in astronomical applications of non-linear curvature wavefront sensors for turbulence detection and correction makes it important to understand how best to hand…
Lucky Imaging of transiting planet host stars with LuckyCam
F. Faedi, T. Staley, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +7
We obtained high-resolution, high-contrast optical imaging in the SDSS band with the LuckyCam camera mounted on the 2.56m Nordic Optical Telescope, to search for faint stellar…
GravityCam: Wide-Field High-Resolution High-Cadence Imaging Surveys in the Visible from the Ground
C. Mackay, M. Dominik, I. A. Steele +13
GravityCam is a new concept of ground-based imaging instrument capable of delivering significantly sharper images from the ground than is normally possible without adaptive optics.…
Adaptive Optics and Lucky Imager (AOLI): presentation and first light
