Opto-Mechanical Design of ShaneAO: the Adaptive Optics System for the 3-meter Shane Telescope
Christopher Ratliff, Jerry Cabak, Donald Gavel +8
A Cassegrain mounted adaptive optics instrument presents unique challenges for opto-mechanical design. The flexure and temperature tolerances for stability are tighter than those o…
ShaneAO: wide science spectrum adaptive optics system for the Lick Observatory
Donald Gavel, Renate Kupke, Daren Dillon +14
A new high-order adaptive optics system is now being commissioned at the Lick Observatory Shane 3-meter telescope in California. This system uses a high return efficiency sodium be…
Commissioning ShARCS: the Shane Adaptive optics infraRed Camera-Spectrograph for the Lick Observatory 3-m telescope
Rosalie McGurk, Constance Rockosi, Donald Gavel +16
We describe the design and first-light early science performance of the Shane Adaptive optics infraRed Camera-Spectrograph (ShARCS) on Lick Observatory's 3-m Shane telescope. Desig…
APF - The Lick Observatory Automated Planet Finder
Steven S. Vogt, Matthew Radovan, Robert Kibrick +45
The Automated Planet Finder (APF) is a facility purpose-built for the discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets through high-cadence Doppler velocimetry of the reflex ba…
