R&D activity in INAF on light instrumentation for continuous optical turbulence monitoring
Camilo Weinberger, Elena Masciadri, Luca Carbonaro +5
Measurements of optical turbulence are essential in both ground-based astronomy and free-space optical communication systems contexts for multiple reasons including supporting and…
Progress of the design of the 12-m optical, Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST)
P. Dierickx, G. Gausachs, C. Cudennec +16
The Wide-Field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a 12-m class, Alt-Az optical telescope providing two simultaneous foci, 2 degrees and 3 by 3 arc minutes respectively, for Multi-Obj…
Current status of the High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOS-HR) for the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope
Andrea Tozzi, Anna Brucalassi, Matteo Munari +10
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a planned 12-meter class dedicated spectroscopic facility for massive spectroscopic surveys. This paper presents the current status…
WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope: Telescope structure FE analyses
Simone D'Auria, Vincenzo Cianniello, Ciro Del Vecchio +6
The Altitude Structure of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is designed to support and position both primary and secondary mirrors, made of structural steel. Due to its…

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a planned 12-meter-class dedicated spectroscopic facility designed to address key scientific challenges through large spectroscopic…
Lateral constraint for thin glass shell: analysis of the requirements and conceptual design for a segmented active mirror
Marcello Agostino Scalera, Runa Briguglio, Ciro Del Vecchio +2
The latest high-performance telescopes for deep space observation employ very large primary mirrors that are made of smaller segments, like the JWST which employs monolithic beryll…
Contactless actuators and pyramid wavefront sensor, the SPLATT concept for space active optics: an overview of the project and the last laboratory results
Runa Briguglio, Marco Xompero, Marcello Scalera +13
In the last few years the concept of an active space telescope has been greatly developed, to meet demanding requirements with a substantial reduction of tolerances, risks and cost…
A prototype of a large tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer for solar spectroscopy
V. Greco, A. Sordini, G. Cauzzi +7
Large Fabry-Perot Interferometers are used in a variety of astronomical instrumentation, including spectro-polarimeters for 4-meter class solar telescopes. In this work we comprehe…
The Actuator Design and the Experimental Tests of a New Technology Large Deformable Mirror for Visible Wavelengths Adaptive Optics
Ciro Del Vecchio, Guido Agapito, Carmelo Arcidiacono +5
Recently, Adaptive Secondary Mirrors showed excellent on-sky results in the Near Infrared wavelengths. They currently provide 30mm inter-actuator spacing and about 1 kHz bandwidth.…
