Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Simulator for the Thirty Meter Telescope: Design, Implementation, and Results
Etsuko Mieda, Jean-Pierre Veran, Matthias Rosensteiner +5
We present a multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) system simulator bench, HeNOS (Herzberg NFIRAOS Optical Simulator). HeNOS is developed to validate the performance of the MCAO s…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: overview, operation, simulation
Richard Davies, João Alves, Yann Clénet +98
MICADO will enable the ELT to perform diffraction limited near-infrared observations at first light. The instrument's capabilities focus on imaging (including astrometric and high…
LBT/ARGOS adaptive optics observations of z lensed galaxies
M. Perna, M. Curti, G. Cresci +24
Gravitationally lensed systems allow a detailed view of galaxies at high redshift. High spatial- and spectral-resolution measurements of arc-like structures can offer unique constr…
ARGOS at the LBT. Binocular laser guided ground layer adaptive optics
S. Rabien, R. Angel, L. Barl +48
Having completed its commissioning phase, the Advanced Rayleigh guided Ground-layer adaptive Optics System (ARGOS) facility is coming online for scientific observations at the Larg…
Resolving the Host Galaxy of a Distant Blazar with LBT/LUCI1 + ARGOS
Emanuele Paolo Farina, Iskren Y. Georgiev, Roberto Decarli +14
BL Lac objects emitting in the Very High Energy (VHE) regime are unique tools to peer into the properties of the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL). However, due to the typical a…
NFIRAOS First Facility AO System for the Thirty Meter Telescope
Glen Herriot, David Andersen, Jenny Atwood +16
NFIRAOS, the Thirty Meter Telescope's first adaptive optics system is an order 60x60 Multi-Conjugate AO system with two deformable mirrors. Although most observing will use 6 laser…
