GRAVITY+ adaptive optics (GPAO) tests in Europe
Florentin Millour, Guillaume Bourdarot, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin +54
We present in this proceeding the results of the test phase of the GRAVITY+ adaptive optics. This extreme AO will enable both high-dynamic range observations of faint companions (i…

Open loop calibration and closed loop non-perturbative estimation of the lateral errors of an adaptive optics system: examples with GRAVITY+ and CHARA experimental data
Anthony Berdeu, Henri Bonnet, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin +15
Performances of an adaptive optics (AO) system are directly linked with the quality of its alignment. During the instrument calibration, having open loop fast tools with a large ca…
