MORFEO: Advancing Towards Final Design
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Marco Bonaglia +106
The Multiconjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations (MORFEO) is a first-generation adaptive optics module for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), designed to deliver a d…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
An Ingot-like class of WaveFront Sensors for Laser Guide Stars
Roberto Ragazzoni, Elisa Portaluri, Davide Greggio +15
Full sky coverage Adaptive Optics on Extremely Large Telescopes requires the adoption of several Laser Guide Stars as references.With such large apertures, the apparent elongation…
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…
MAORY: A Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY for ELT
Paolo Ciliegi, Guido Agapito, Matteo Aliverti +73
MAORY is the adaptive optics module for ELT providing two gravity invariant ports with the same optical quality for two different client instruments. It enable high angular resolut…
Optical design trade-off study for the AO module of MAVIS
Davide Greggio, Simone Di Filippo, Demetrio Magrin +18
MAVIS (MCAO-Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph) is an instrument proposed for the VLT Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF), which is currently in the phase-A conceptual design stud…
XAO-assisted coronagraphy with SHARK NIR: from simulations to laboratory tests
Gabriele Umbriaco, Elena Carolo, Daniele Vassallo +22
Several Extreme Adaptive Optics (XAO) systems dedicated to the detection and characterisation of the exoplanets are currently in operation for 8-10 meter class telescopes. Coronagr…
Prospects of Deep Field Surveys with Global-MCAO on an ELT
Elisa Portaluri, Valentina Viotto, Roberto Ragazzoni +12
Several astronomical surveys aimed at the investigation of the extragalactic components were carried out in order to map systematically the universe and its constituents. An excell…
Data processing on simulated data for SHARK-NIR
E. Carolo, D. Vassallo, J. Farinato +22
A robust post processing technique is mandatory to analyse the coronagraphic high contrast imaging data. Angular Differential Imaging (ADI) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) a…
A Holographic Diffuser Generalised Optical Differentiation Wavefront Sensor
Luca Marafatto, Roberto Ragazzoni, Daniele Vassallo +12
The wavefront sensors used today at the biggest World's telescopes have either a high dynamic range or a high sensitivity, and they are subject to a linear trade off between these…
Recovering pyramid WS gain in non-common path aberration correction mode via deformable lens
D. Magrin, S. Bonora, M. Quintavalla +5
It is by now well known that pyramid based wavefront sensors, once in closed loop, have the capability to improve more and more the gain as the reference natural star image size is…
A testing facility for AO on-sky demonstrations at the Copernico's Telescope within the ADONI framework
S. Chinellato, R. Ragazzoni, J. Farinato +21
In the context of ADONI - the ADaptive Optics National laboratory of INAF - we are arranging for a facility, accessible to the AO community, in which visiting multi-purpose instrum…
Ingot Laser Guide Stars Wavefront Sensing
Roberto Ragazzoni, Elisa Portaluri, Valentina Viotto +11
We revisit one class of z-invariant WaveFront sensor where the LGS is fired aside of the telescope aperture. In this way there is a spatial dependence on the focal plane with respe…
Hierarchichal-segmented AO in order to attain wide field compensation in the visible on an 8m class telescope
Roberto Ragazzoni, Demetrio Magrin, Jacopo Farinato +10
We describe the preliminary optimized layout for a partially optimized concept of an optical-8m class VLT-like 2x2 segmented camera where each channel is assisted by an equivalent…
Multiple spatial frequencies wavefront sensing
Roberto Ragazzoni, Daniele Vassallo, Marco Dima +10
We describe the concept of splitting spatial frequency perturbations into some kind of pupil planes wavefront sensors. Further to the existing approach of dropping higher spatial f…
SHARK-NIR, the coronagraphic camera for LBT, moving toward construction
Jacopo Farinato, Francesca Bacciotti, Carlo Baffa +37
SHARK-NIR is one of the two coronagraphic instruments proposed for the Large Binocular Telescope. Together with SHARK-VIS (performing coronagraphic imaging in the visible domain),…
Formation and Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies: Spectro-Photometry from Cosmo-Chemo-Dynamical Simulations
Rosaria Tantalo, Simonetta Chinellato, Emiliano Merlin +2
One of the major challenges in modern astrophysics is to understand the origin and the evolution of galaxies, the bright, massive early type galaxies (ETGs) in particular. Therefor…
