The Simultaneous Operation of a Controllable Segmented Primary Mirror and Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics System part 2 -- Simulated Operation

Benjamin Calvin, Michael Fitzgerald, Sam Ragland

There are scientific and technological needs to improve the co-phasing of the primary mirrors of segmented telescopes. We have developed a methodology for using the wavefront senso…
