Ground-layer wavefront reconstruction from multiple natural guide stars
Christoph Baranec, Michael Lloyd-Hart, N. Mark Milton
Observational tests of ground layer wavefront recovery have been made in open loop using a constellation of four natural guide stars at the 1.55 m Kuiper telescope in Arizona. Such…
Performance Modeling of a Wide Field Ground Layer Adaptive Optics System
D. Andersen, J. Stoesz, S. Morris +11
Using five independent analytic and Monte Carlo simulation codes, we have studied the performance of wide field ground layer adaptive optics (GLAO), which can use a single, relativ…
First tests of wavefront sensing with a constellation of laser guide beacons
M. Lloyd-Hart, C. Baranec, N. M. Milton +4
Adaptive optics to correct current telescopes over wide fields, or future very large telescopes over even narrow fields, will require real-time wavefront measurements made with a c…
High Resolution Mid - Infrared Imaging of the AGB Star RV Boo with the Steward Observatory Adaptive Optics System
B. A. Biller, L. M. Close, A. Li +9
We present high resolution (~0.1"), very high Strehl ratio (0.97+-0.03) mid-infrared (IR) adaptive optics (AO) images of the AGB star RV Boo utilizing the MMT adaptive secondary AO…
Adaptive Optics Nulling Interferometric Constraints on the Mid-Infrared Exozodiacal Dust Emission around Vega
W. M. Liu, P. M. Hinz, W. F. Hoffmann +7
We present the results of mid-infrared nulling interferometric observations of the main-sequence star alpha Lyr (Vega) using the 6.5 m MMT with its adaptive secondary mirror. From…
Mid-Infrared Imaging of the Post-AGB Star AC Herculis with the MMT Adaptive Optics System
Laird M. Close, Beth Biller, William F. Hoffmann +8
We utilized the MMT's unique deformable secondary adaptive optics system to produce high-resolution (FWHM=0.3"), very high Strehl mid-infrared (9.8, 11.7 & 18 micron) images of the…
