Characterization of the MUSE NFM PSF as a function of atmospheric conditions: TipTop calibration
Enrico Congiu, Fuyan Bian, Carlo F. Manara +8
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) achieves exceptional spatial resolution in narrow-field mode (NFM) thanks to the GALACSI adaptive optics (AO) system. However, limitati…

SynIM: a high-performance GPU-accelerated Python library for synthetic interaction and tomographic reconstruction matrices in next-generation adaptive optics
Guido Agapito, Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi
Next-generation Adaptive Optics (AO) systems for 8-40m class telescopes, such as MORFEO (ELT) and MAVIS (VLT), demand high calibration accuracy. Controlling thousands of actuators…
