Facility integration of the NASA IRTF adaptive secondary mirror

Ellen Lee, Mark Chun, Michael Connelley +12

IRTF-ASM-1 has been functioning well since its first light in 2024. This adaptive secondary mirror (ASM) was primarily developed to be an on-sky demonstration of the new hybrid var…

Design and Performance of the Upgraded Mid-InfraRed Spectrometer and Imager (MIRSI) on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility

Joseph L. Hora, David E. Trilling, Andy J. Lopez-Oquendo +12

We describe the new design and current performance of the Mid-InfraRed Spectrometer and Imager (MIRSI) on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). The system has been converted…

In-lab and On-sky Closed-loop Results of Adaptive Secondary Mirrors with TNO's Hybrid Variable Reluctance Actuators

Ruihan Zhang, Max Baeten, Mark R. Chun +8

We performed closed-loop lab testing of large-format deformable mirrors (DMs) with hybrid variable reluctance actuators. TNO has been developing the hybrid variable reluctance actu…

First laboratory and on-sky results of an adaptive secondary mirror with TNO-style actuators on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility

Ellen Lee, Mark Chun, Olivier Lai +14

We are developing an adaptive secondary mirror (ASM) that uses a new actuator technology created by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). The TNO hybr…
