Alignment of three mirror anastigmat telescopes using a multilayered stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm
Solvay Blomquist, Heejoo Choi, Hyukmo Kang +4
When a telescope doesn't reach a reasonable point spread function on the detector or detectable wavefront quality after initial assembly, a coarse phase alignment on-sky is crucial…
The Lazuli Space Observatory: Architecture & Capabilities
Arpita Roy, Stuart Feldman, Pete Klupar +51
The Lazuli Space Observatory is a 3-meter aperture astronomical facility designed for rapid-response observations and precision astrophysics across visible to near-infrared wavelen…
Inference using a composite-likelihood approximation for stochastic metapopulation model of disease spread
Gaël Beaunée, Pauline Ezanno, Alain Joly +2
Spatio-temporal pathogen spread is often partially observed at the metapopulation scale. Available data correspond to proxies and are incomplete, censored and heterogeneous. Moreov…
Stages of commissioning alignment for three-mirror anastigmat (TMA) telescopes
Solvay Blomquist, Heejoo Choi, Hyukmo Kang +7
Reliable, autonomously, deployment of telescopes enables a wide range of possible science cases. In this paper, we present a method for multi-stage telescope alignment with a simpl…
