Robo-AO-2: entering the era of automated science operations, hybrid wavefront sensing, and adaptive secondary integration
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, James Ou +10
We present the first science results and new technical milestones from the Robo-AO-2 facility at the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope. Following successful commissioning, the s…
Analysis of Laser-Satellite Deconfliction for Astronomical Observatories
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Yuhei Takagi +1
We present an analysis of laser-satellite deconfliction across three astronomical laser observatories for right ascension and declination targets and fixed azimuth and elevation ra…
The Herculis system solved after nearly three centuries
Marcus L. Marcussen, Mikkel N. Lund, Frank Grundahl +11
Herculis is a bright, nearby quadruple system. Its brightest member, Her Aa, displays solar-like oscillations, establishing the system as a crucial benchmark for asteroseis…
Simulation results for Robo-AO-2 using HAPA: a wavefront sensing technique for improving the adaptive optics correction of fainter stars
Ruihan Zhang, Christoph Baranec, Marcos A. van Dam +3
Direct imaging of exoplanets allows us to measure positions and chemical signatures of exoplanets. Given the limited resources for space observations where the atmosphere is absent…
Commissioning results from the Robo-AO-2 facility for rapid visible and near-infrared AO imaging
Christoph Baranec, James Ou, Reed Riddle +16
We installed the next-generation automated laser adaptive optics system, Robo-AO-2, on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope on Maunakea in 2023. We engineered Robo-AO-2 to deli…
Four years of optical turbulence monitoring at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO)
S. G. Els, M. Schoeck, E. Bustos +7
The optical turbulence conditions as measured between 2004 until end of 2008 above Cerro Tololo, their seasonal as well as nocturnal behavior are presented. A comparison with the M…
Thirty Meter Telescope Site Testing VI: Turbulence Profiles
S. G. Els, T. Travouillon, M. Schoeck +5
The results on the vertical distribution of optical turbulence above the five mountains which were investigated by the site testing for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) are reporte…
Thirty Meter Telescope Site Testing I: Overview
M. Schoeck, S. Els, R. Riddle +15
As part of the conceptual and preliminary design processes of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), the TMT site testing team has spent the last five years measuring the atmospheric pr…
