Laboratory Testing the Layer Oriented Wavefront Sensor for the Multiconjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Matteo Lombini, Emiliano Diolaiti +2
The Multiconjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) for ESO-Very Large Telescopes (VLT) will demonstrate on sky the MultiConjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) technique. In this paper…
Layer Oriented Wavefront sensor for MAD on Sky operations
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Matteo Lombini, Roberto Ragazzoni +15
The Multiconjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) has successfully demonstrated on sky both Star Oriented (SO) and Layer Oriented (LO) multiconjugate adaptive optics techniques…
Elliptical galaxies: rotationally distorted, after all
R. Caimmi
Different sequences of ellipsoids are represented on the ellipticity-rotation plane. The rotation parameter is defined as the ratio of kinetic energy related to the mean tangential…
Science and Adaptive Optics Requirements of MICADO, the E-ELT adaptive optics imaging camera
R. Davies, the Micado team
MICADO is the adaptive optics imaging camera being studied for the E-ELT. Its design has been optimised for use with MCAO, but will have its own SCAO module for the initial operati…
BIGRE: a low cross-talk integral field unit tailored for extrasolar planets imaging spectroscopy
Jacopo Antichi, Kjetil Dohlen, Raffaele G. Gratton +7
Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) represents a powerful technique for the detection and characterization of extrasolar planets through high contrast imaging, since it allows to obt…
