MOSAIC at ELT: Design and First Prototyping of Novel Robotic Optical-Relay Positioners

Maxime Rombach, Markus Thurneysen, Lucas Ortolani +27

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is, to date, the most ambitious ground-based telescope under construction. MOSAIC is a multi-objects spectrograph (MOS) that aims to make full u…

Wavefront prediction using artificial neural networks for open-loop Adaptive Optics

Xuewen Liu, Tim Morris, Chris Saunter +3

Latency in the control loop of adaptive optics (AO) systems can severely limit performance. Under the frozen flow hypothesis linear predictive control techniques can overcome this,…

Limitations imposed by optical turbulence profile structure and evolution on tomographic reconstruction for the ELT

O. J. D. Farley, J. Osborn, T. Morris +4

The performance of tomographic adaptive optics systems is intrinsically linked to the vertical profile of optical turbulence. Firstly, a sufficient number of discrete turbulent lay…
