Wavefront Profiling via correlation of GLAO open loop telemetry
Eden A. McEwen, Ryan Dungee, Mark Chun +3
Adaptive Optics (AO) used in ground based observatories can be strengthened in both design and algorithms by a more detailed understanding of the atmosphere they seek to correct. N…
He'e-Lab: A modular testbed for astrophotonics and wavefront sensing development
Sebastien Vievard, Christopher Hamner, Nour Skaf +14
Advanced astronomical instrumentation requires accessible, reconfigurable platforms to validate novel technologies and algorithms before on-sky deployment. We present the design, a…
Robo-AO-2: entering the era of automated science operations, hybrid wavefront sensing, and adaptive secondary integration
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, James Ou +10
We present the first science results and new technical milestones from the Robo-AO-2 facility at the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope. Following successful commissioning, the s…
Analysis of Laser-Satellite Deconfliction for Astronomical Observatories
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Yuhei Takagi +1
We present an analysis of laser-satellite deconfliction across three astronomical laser observatories for right ascension and declination targets and fixed azimuth and elevation ra…
