Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +2
The paper defines baseline performance thresholds for optical turbulence forecasts using two simple reference methods—one for average values and one for temporal evolution—and eval…
Laser-based metrology systems vs wavefront sensing techniques: a comparative overview between the Large Binocular Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory for the telescope alignment and collimation tracking
Luca Rosignoli, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Sandrine J. Thomas +26
This work presents a comparative overview of the collimation and alignment strategies employed by two leading 8m-class facilities: the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) and the Vera…
Optical turbulence forecast for ground-based astronomy and free-space optical communication
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Camilo Weinberger +2
Forecasting optical turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere has been an ambitious challenge for the astronomical scientific community for several decades. While earlier research prima…
FAST: A software suite for automatic weather and optical turbulence forecast on ground-based telescope sites
A. Turchi, E. Masciadri, L. Fini
In this contribution we present the FAST, which is a comprehensive software suite that aims to streamline and automatically manage the forecast of atmospheric and astroclimatic par…
