Bringing SOUL on sky
Enrico Pinna, Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi +20
The SOUL project is upgrading the 4 SCAO systems of LBT, pushing the current guide star limits of about 2 magnitudes fainter thanks to Electron Multiplied CCD detector. This improv…
Enhanced Seeing Mode at the LBT: A Method to Significantly Improve Angular Resolution over a 4' x 4' Field of View
Barry Rothberg, Julian C. Christou, Douglas L. Miller +3
Since 2014, the LBT's First Light Adaptive Optics (FLAO) system has also included a seldom used capability, known as Enhanced Seeing Mode (ESM), that can improve the angular resolu…
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…
Co-phasing the Large Binocular Telescope: status and performance of LBTI/PHASECam
D. Defrère, P. Hinz, E. Downey +19
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer is a NASA-funded nulling and imaging instrument designed to coherently combine the two 8.4-m primary mirrors of the LBT for high-sensit…
First Successful Adaptive Optics PSF Reconstruction at W. M. Keck Observatory
Laurent Jolissaint, Chris Neyman, Julian Christou +2
We present the last results of our PSF reconstruction (PSF-R) project for the Keck-II and Gemini-North AO systems in natural guide star mode. Our initial tests have shown that the…
Adaptive optics point spread function reconstruction: lessons learned from on-sky experiment on Altair/Gemini and pathway for future systems
Laurent Jolissaint, Julian Christou, Eline Tolstoy +1
We present the results of an on-sky point spread function reconstruction (PSF-R) experiment for the Gemini North telescope adaptive optics system, Altair, in the simplest mode, bri…
