CiaoCiao WFS: sensing phase discontinuities at the ELT
G. Carlà, L. Busoni, S. Esposito +2
The upcoming extremely large telescopes will have to deal with the so-called ''pupil fragmentation'' effect: for what concerns the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the presence of…
Near-Infrared Observations of Outflows and YSOs in the Massive Star-Forming Region AFGL 5180
S. Crowe, R. Fedriani, J. C. Tan +30
Methods: Broad- and narrow-band imaging of AFGL 5180 was made in the NIR with the LBT, in both seeing-limited ($\sim0.5\arcsec$) and high angular resolution ($\sim0.09\arcsec$) Ada…
SOUL at LBT: commissioning results, science and future
Enrico Pinna, Fabio Rossi, Guido Agapito +27
The SOUL systems at the Large Bincoular Telescope can be seen such as precursor for the ELT SCAO systems, combining together key technologies such as EMCCD, Pyramid WFS and adaptiv…
MORFEO enters final design phase
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Alessandro Ballone +81
MORFEO (Multi-conjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations, formerly MAORY), the MCAO system for the ELT, will provide diffraction-limited optical quality to the large fiel…
NGSs acquisition in MORFEO
Guido Agapito, Lorenzo Busoni, Cédric Plantet +3
MORFEO (Multi-conjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observation) is the future multi-conjugate adaptive optics system for the ESO ELT that will feed the instrument MICADO (Multi-…
TIPTOP: cone effect for single laser adaptive optics systems
Guido Agapito, Cédric Plantet, Fabio Rossi +6
TIPTOP is a python library that is able to quickly compute Point Spread Functions (PSF) of any kind of Adaptive Optics systems. This library has multiple objectives: support the ex…
GPI 2.0: Performance Evaluation of the Wavefront Sensor's EMCCD
Clarissa R. Do Ó, Saavidra Perera, Jérôme Maire +26
The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) is a high contrast imaging instrument that aims to detect and characterize extrasolar planets. GPI is being upgraded to GPI 2.0, with several subsyst…
Non-modulated pyramid wavefront sensor: Use in sensing and correcting atmospheric turbulence
Guido Agapito, Enrico Pinna, Simone Esposito +2
Context. The diffusion of adaptive optics systems in astronomical instrumentation for large ground-based telescopes is rapidly increasing and the pyramid wavefront sensor is replac…
GMP-selected dual and lensed AGNs: selection function and classification based on near-IR colors and resolved spectra from VLT/ERIS, KECK/OSIRIS, and LBT/LUCI
F. Mannucci, M. Scialpi, A. Ciurlo +44
The Gaia-Multi-Peak (GMP) technique can be used to identify large numbers of dual or lensed AGN candidates at sub-arcsec separation, allowing us to study both multiple SMBHs in the…
The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Davies, O. Absil, G. Agapito +81
ERIS, the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph, is an instrument that both extends and enhances the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for t…
The ESO's Extremely Large Telescope Working Groups
Paolo Padovani, Michele Cirasuolo, Remco van der Burg +82
Since 2005 ESO has been working with its community and industry to develop an extremely large optical/infrared telescope. ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT for short, is a re…
Contactless actuators and pyramid wavefront sensor, the SPLATT concept for space active optics: an overview of the project and the last laboratory results
Runa Briguglio, Marco Xompero, Marcello Scalera +13
In the last few years the concept of an active space telescope has been greatly developed, to meet demanding requirements with a substantial reduction of tolerances, risks and cost…
The SOUL view of IRAS20126+4104. Kinematics and variability of the H jet from a massive protostar
F. Massi, A. Caratti o Garatti, R. Cesaroni +20
We exploit the increased sensitivity of the recently installed AO SOUL at the LBT to obtain new high-spatial-resolution NIR images of the massive young stellar object IRAS20126+410…
Optimal filtering techniques for the adaptive optics system of the LBT
G. Agapito, F. Quirós-Pacheco, P. Tesi +2
In this paper we will discuss the application of optimal filtering techniques for the adaptive optics system of the LBT telescope. We have studied the application of both Kalman an…
End-to-end simulations of a near-infrared pyramid sensor on Keck II
