Simultaneous Generalized and Low-Layer SCIDAR turbulence profiles at San Pedro Mártir Observatory
R. Avila, O. Valdés-Hernández, L. J. Sánchez +4
We present optical turbulence profiles obtained with a Generalized SCIDAR (G-SCIDAR) and a Low Layer SCIDAR (LOLAS) at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional in San Pedro Mártir (OA…
LOLAS-2 : redesign of an optical turbulence profiler
R. Avila, C. A. Zuniga, J. J. Tapia-Rodriguez +5
We present the development, tests and first results of the second generation Low Layer Scidar (LOLAS-2). This instrument constitutes a strongly improved version of the prototype Lo…
Stereo-SCIDAR: Optical turbulence profiling with high sensitivity using a modified SCIDAR instrument
H. W. Shepherd, J. Osborn, R. W. Wilson +4
The next generation of adaptive optics (AO) systems will require tomographic reconstruction techniques to map the optical refractive index fluctuations, generated by the atmospheri…
Astroclimate at San Pedro Mártir I: 2004-2008 Seeing Statistics from the TMT Site Testing Data
L. J. Sánchez, I. Cruz-González, J. Echevarría +6
We present comprehensive seeing statistics for the San Pedro Mártir site derived from the Thirty Meter Telescope site selection data. The observations were obtained between 2004 an…
An estimate of the temporal fraction of cloud cover at San Pedro Mártir Observatory
E. Carrasco, A. Carramiñana, L. J. Sánchez +2
San Pedro Mártir in the Northwest of Mexico is the site of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional. It was one of the five candidates sites for the Thirty Meter Telescope, whose site…
Conjugate-plane photometry: Reducing scintillation in ground-based photometry
James Osborn, Richard W. Wilson, V. S. Dhillon +2
High precision fast photometry from ground-based observatories is a challenge due to intensity fluctuations (scintillation) produced by the Earth's atmosphere. Here we describe a m…
