DM/WFS mis-registration tracking: Implementation and on-sky validation of SPRINT at LBT
Ben Buky, Cédric Taïssir Héritier, Fabio Rossi +7
The advent of telescopes with an integrated deformable mirror (DM) presents new challenges for adaptive optics (AO) systems. The alignment between the DM and wavefront sensor (WFS)…
Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +2
Accurate optical turbulence (OT) forecasts help telescopes observe with maximum efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics (AO) systems strongly depends on turbulence condit…
The instrumentation program at the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory in 2024
Joseph C. Shields, Jason Chu, Albert Conrad +17
The Large Binocular Telescope, with its expansive collecting area, angular resolving power, and advanced optical design, provides a robust platform for development and operation of…
LBT SHARK-VIS Observes a Major Resurfacing Event on Io
Al Conrad, Fernando Pedichini, Gianluca Li Causi +18
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes on Io's surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes. Here,…
