AIROPA II: Modeling Instrumental Aberrations for Off-Axis Point Spread Functions in Adaptive Optics

Anna Ciurlo, Paolo Turri, Gunther Witzel +12

Images obtained with single-conjugate adaptive optics (AO) show spatial variation of the point spread function (PSF) due to both atmospheric anisoplanatism and instrumental aberrat…

AIROPA IV: Validating Point Spread Function Reconstruction on Various Science Cases

Sean K. Terry, Jessica R. Lu, Paolo Turri +7

We present an analysis of six independent on-sky datasets taken with the Keck-II/NIRC2 instrument. Using the off-axis point spread function (PSF) reconstruction software AIROPA, we…
