Gemini North Adaptive Optics (GNAO) facility overview and status updates
Gaetano Sivo, Julia Scharwächter, Manuel Lazo +54
The Gemini North Adaptive Optics (GNAO) facility is the upcoming AO facility for Gemini North providing a state-of-the-art AO system for surveys and time domain science in the era…
Design of SCALES: A 2-5 Micron Coronagraphic Integral Field Spectrograph for Keck Observatory
Andrew Skemer, R. Deno Stelter, Stephanie Sallum +49
We present the design of SCALES (Slicer Combined with Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy) a new 2-5 micron coronagraphic integral field spectrograph under construction fo…
Daytime calibration and testing of the Keck All sky Precision Adaptive Optics Tomography System
Avinash Surendran, Jacques R. Delorme, Carlos M. Correia +12
The development of the Keck All sky Precision Adaptive optics (KAPA) project was initiated in September 2018 to upgrade the Keck I adaptive optics (AO) system to enable laser tomog…
Entering into the Wide Field Adaptive Optics Era on Maunakea
Gaetano Sivo, John Blakeslee, Jennifer Lotz +32
As part of the National Science Foundation funded "Gemini in the Era of MultiMessenger Astronomy" (GEMMA) program, Gemini Observatory is developing GNAO, a widefield adaptive optic…
Individual, Model-Independent Masses of the Closest Known Brown Dwarf Binary to the Sun
E. Victor Garcia, S. Mark Ammons, Maissa Salama +18
At a distance of 2~pc, our nearest brown dwarf neighbor, Luhman 16 AB, has been extensively studied since its discovery 3 years ago, yet its most fundamental parameter -- the masse…
Multi-conjugated adaptive optics imaging of distant galaxies -- A comparison of Gemini/GSAOI and VLT/HAWK-I data
Mischa Schirmer, Vincent Garrel, Gaetano Sivo +2
Multi-conjugated adaptive optics (MCAO) yield nearly diffraction-limited images at 2m wavelengths. Currently, GeMS/GSAOI at Gemini South is the only MCAO facility instrument at…
ILC Extraction Line Simulations with TDR Parameters
Eduardo Marin, Yuri Nosochkov
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the latest ILC beam parameters at the Interaction Point (IP), as specified in the 2013 ILC Technical Design Report (TDR), on bea…
Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system review II: Commissioning, operation and overall performance
Benoit Neichel, François Rigaut, Fabrice Vidal +30
The Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System - GeMS, a facility instrument mounted on the Gemini South telescope, delivers a uniform, near diffraction limited images at near i…
BDS tuning and Luminosity Monitoring in CLIC
B. Dalena, J. Barranco, A. Latina +6
The emittance preservation in the Beam Delivery System (BDS) is one of the major challenges in CLIC. The fast detuning of the final focus optics requires an on-line tuning procedur…
