Robustness of prediction for extreme adaptive optics systems under various observing conditions: An analysis using VLT/SPHERE adaptive optics data

M. A. M. van Kooten, Niek Doelman, Matthew Kenworthy

For high-contrast imaging (HCI) systems, such as VLT/SPHERE, the performance of the system at small angular separations is contaminated by the wind-driven halo in the science image…
