EMCCD for Pyramid wavefront sensor: laboratory characterization
Guido Agapito, Tommaso Mazzoni, Fabio Rossi +3
Electro-Multiplying CCDs offer a unique combination of speed, sub-electron noise and quantum efficiency. These features make them extremely attractive for astronomical adaptive opt…
MAVIS: system modelling and performance prediction
Guido Agapito, Daniele Vassallo, Cedric Plantet +5
The MCAO Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph (MAVIS) Adaptive Optics Module has very demanding goals to support science in the optical: providing 15% SR in V band on a large F…
Operational forecast of the PSF figures of merit
A. Turchi, G. Agapito, E. Masciadri +6
The optimization and scheduling of scientific observations done with instrumentation supported by adaptive optics could greatly benefit from the forecast of PSF figures of merit (F…
MICADO PSF-Reconstruction work package description
Matteo Simioni, Carmelo Arcidiacono, Andrea Grazian +25
The point spread function reconstruction (PSF-R) capability is a deliverable of the MICADO@ESO-ELT project. The PSF-R team works on the implementation of the instrument software de…
XAO-assisted coronagraphy with SHARK NIR: from simulations to laboratory tests
Gabriele Umbriaco, Elena Carolo, Daniele Vassallo +22
Several Extreme Adaptive Optics (XAO) systems dedicated to the detection and characterisation of the exoplanets are currently in operation for 8-10 meter class telescopes. Coronagr…
The HOSTS survey for exozodiacal dust: Observational results from the complete survey
Steve Ertel, Denis Defrère, Philip M. Hinz +43
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) enables nulling interferometric observations across the N band (8 to 13 um) to suppress a star's bright light and probe for fain…
