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…
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…
A virtual coronagraphic test bench for SHARK-NIR, the second-generation high contrast imager for the Large Binocular Telescope
D. Vassallo, E. Carolo, J. Farinato +21
In this article, we present a simulator conceived for the conceptual study of an AO-fed high-contrast coronagraphic imager. The simulator implements physical optics: a complex dist…
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…
