General formalism for Fourier based Wave Front Sensing

Olivier Fauvarque, Benoit Neichel, Thierry Fusco +2

We introduce in this article a general formalism for Fourier based wave front sensing. To do so, we consider the filtering mask as a free parameter. Such an approach allows to unif…

The Proper Motion of Pyxis: the first use of Adaptive Optics in tandem with HST on a faint halo object

Tobias K. Fritz, Sean T. Linden, Paul Zivick +13

We present a proper motion measurement for the halo globular cluster Pyxis, using HST/ACS data as the first epoch, and GeMS/GSAOI Adaptive Optics data as the second, separated by a…

William Herschel Telescope site characterization using the MOAO pathfinder CANARY on-sky data

O. A. Martin, C. M. Correia, E. Gendron +8

Canary is the Multi-Object Adaptive Optics (MOAO) pathfinder for the future MOAO-assisted Integral-Field Units (IFU) proposed for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT). The MOAO concept…

PSF reconstruction validated using on-sky CANARY data in MOAO mode

O. A. Martin, C. M. Correia, E. Gendron +8

In preparation of future Multi-Object Spectrographs (MOS) whose one of the major role is to provide an extensive statistical studies of high redshifted galaxies surveyed, the demon…

Towards an automatic system for monitoring of CN2 and wind speed profiles with GeMS

E. Masciadri, B. Neichel, A. Guesalaga +1

Wide Field Adaptive Optics (WFAO) systems represent the more sophisticated AO systems available today at large telescopes. A critical aspect for these WFAO systems in order to deli…

Natural guide-star processing for wide-field laser-assisted AO systems

Carlos M. Correia, Benoit Neichel, Jean-Marc Conan +5

Sky-coverage in laser-assisted AO observations largely depends on the system's capability to guide on the faintest natural guide-stars possible. Here we give an up-to-date status o…
