MORFEO control strategy
Guido Agapito, Lorenzo Busoni, Cédric Plantet +7
The ESO Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will offer unprecedented sensitivity and resolution in the near-infrared, marking a new era for ground-based astronomy. Among its key imagin…
MORFEO: Advancing Towards Final Design
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Marco Bonaglia +106
The Multiconjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations (MORFEO) is a first-generation adaptive optics module for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), designed to deliver a d…
SynIM: a high-performance GPU-accelerated Python library for synthetic interaction and tomographic reconstruction matrices in next-generation adaptive optics
Guido Agapito, Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi
Next-generation Adaptive Optics (AO) systems for 8-40m class telescopes, such as MORFEO (ELT) and MAVIS (VLT), demand high calibration accuracy. Controlling thousands of actuators…
Introducing a new generation Adaptive Optics simulation framework: from PASSATA to SPECULA
Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi, Guido Agapito
Numerical end-to-end simulation in Adaptive Optics (AO) is a key tool in the development of complex systems, from the initial design to the commissioning phase. Based on our previo…
New Spatially Resolved Imaging of the SR 21 Transition Disk and Constraints on the Small-Grain Disk Geometry
Steph Sallum, Andy Skemer, Josh Eisner +9
We present new 0.6 - 4 m imaging of the SR 21 transition disk from Keck/NIRC2 and Magellan/MagAO. The protoplanetary disk around SR 21 has a large (~ 30 - 40 AU) clearing first…
