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…

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…
