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…
J1250+0455AB an ultracool binary in a hierarchical triple system
Sayan Baig, R. L. Smart, Hugh R. A. Jones +7
We report the discovery of the ultracool dwarf binary system J1250+0455AB, a low-mass (M 0.2 M) system in which the components straddle the M/L dwa…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
DDO68 C: the actual appearance of a ghost satellite dwarf through adaptive optics at the Large Binocular Telescope
Francesca Annibali, Enrico Pinna, Leslie K. Hunt +12
Through adaptive optics (AO) imaging with the SOUL+LUCI instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope we were able to resolve, for the first time, individual stars in the gas-rich ga…
PSF nowcast using PASSATA simulations -- Towards a PSF forecast
A. Turchi, G. Agapito, E. Masciadri +8
Characterizing the PSF of adaptive optics instruments is of paramount importance both for instrument design and observation planning/optimization. Simulation software, such as PASS…
BRUTE, PSF Reconstruction for the SOUL pyramid-based Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics facility of the LBT
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Andrea Grazian, Anita Zanella +11
The astronomical applications greatly benefit from the knowledge of the instrument PSF. We describe the PSF Reconstruction algorithm developed for the LBT LUCI instrument assisted…
LBT SOUL data as a science test bench for MICADO PSF-R tool
Matteo Simioni, Carmelo Arcidiacono, Roland Wagner +14
Current state-of-the-art adaptive optics (AO) provides ground-based, diffraction-limited observations with high Strehl ratios (SR). However, a detailed knowledge of the point sprea…
Point spread function reconstruction for SOUL+LUCI LBT data
Matteo Simioni, Carmelo Arcidiacono, Roland Wagner +14
This paper presents the status of an ongoing project aimed at developing a PSF reconstruction software for adaptive optics (AO) observations. In particular, we test for the first t…
Advances in control of a Pyramid Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics system
Guido Agapito, Fabio Rossi, Cedric Plantet +2
Adaptive optics systems are an essential technology for the modern astronomy for ground based telescopes. One of the most recent revolution in the field is the introduction of the…
Bringing SOUL on sky
Enrico Pinna, Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi +20
The SOUL project is upgrading the 4 SCAO systems of LBT, pushing the current guide star limits of about 2 magnitudes fainter thanks to Electron Multiplied CCD detector. This improv…
TIPTOP: a new tool to efficiently predict your favorite AO PSF
Benoit Neichel, Olivier Beltramo-Martin, Cedric Plantet +7
The Adaptive Optics (AO) performance significantly depends on the available Natural Guide Stars (NGSs) and a wide range of atmospheric conditions (seeing, Cn2, windspeed,...). In o…
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…
Elephants, goldfishes and SOUL: a dissertation on forgetfulness and control systems
Guido Agapito, Enrico Pinna, Alfio Puglisi +1
Adaptive Optics control systems accumulate differential measurements during closed loop operations to estimate turbulence and drive the deformable mirror. But have you ever wondere…
