Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +4
Accurate forecasting of optical turbulence (OT) is useful to optimise telescope scheduling and maximising observing efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics systems strong…
Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +2
Accurate optical turbulence (OT) forecasts help telescopes observe with maximum efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics (AO) systems strongly depends on turbulence condit…
FATE -- an operational automatic system for optical turbulence forecasting at the Very Large Telescope
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Luca Fini +5
In this contribution we report the on-going progresses of the project FATE, an operational automatic forecast system conceived to deliver forecasts of a set of astroclimatic and at…
The optimisation of short-term scheduling of science observations at Paranal observatory (VLT and ELT)
Joseph P. Anderson, Elyar Sedaghati, Aleksandar Cikota +4
The efficiency of science observation Short-Term Scheduling (STS) can be defined as being a function of how many highly ranked observations are completed per unit time. Current STS…
