The Adaptive Optics System for the Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph: Performance Modeling
Uriel Conod, Kate Jackson, Paolo Turri +7
The Gemini Infrared Multi-Object Spectrograph (GIRMOS) will be a near-infrared, multi-object, medium spectral resolution, integral field spectrograph (IFS) for Gemini North Telesco…
AIROPA II: Modeling Instrumental Aberrations for Off-Axis Point Spread Functions in Adaptive Optics
Anna Ciurlo, Paolo Turri, Gunther Witzel +12
Images obtained with single-conjugate adaptive optics (AO) show spatial variation of the point spread function (PSF) due to both atmospheric anisoplanatism and instrumental aberrat…
AIROPA IV: Validating Point Spread Function Reconstruction on Various Science Cases
Sean K. Terry, Jessica R. Lu, Paolo Turri +7
We present an analysis of six independent on-sky datasets taken with the Keck-II/NIRC2 instrument. Using the off-axis point spread function (PSF) reconstruction software AIROPA, we…
