Characterization of lemniscate atmospheric aberrations in Gemini Planet Imager data
Alexander Madurowicz, Bruce A. Macintosh, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio +5
A semi analytic framework for simulating the effects of atmospheric seeing in Adaptive Optics systems on an 8-m telescope is developed with the intention of understanding the origi…
Woofer-tweeter deformable mirror control for closed-loop adaptive optics: theory and practice
Donald Gavel, Andrew Norton
Deformable mirrors with very high order correction generally have smaller dynamic range of motion than what is required to correct seeing over large aperture telescopes. As a resul…
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…
Swimming with ShARCS: Comparison of On-sky Sensitivity With Model Predictions for ShaneAO on the Lick Observatory 3-meter Telescope
Srikar Srinath, Rosalie McGurk, Constance Rockosi +10
The Lick Observatory's Shane 3-meter telescope has been upgraded with a new infrared instrument (ShARCS - Shane Adaptive optics infraRed Camera and Spectrograph) and dual-deformabl…
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…
MEMS practice, from the lab to the telescope
Katie M. Morzinski, Andrew P. Norton, Julia Wilhelmson Evans +8
Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology can provide for deformable mirrors (DMs) with excellent performance within a favorable economy of scale. Large MEMS-based astrono…
