On-sky wide field adaptive optics correction using multiple laser guide stars at the MMT
Christoph Baranec, Michael Hart, N. Mark Milton +6
We describe results from the first astronomical adaptive optics system to use multiple laser guide stars, located at the 6.5-m MMT telescope in Arizona. Its initial operational mod…
Ground-layer wavefront reconstruction from multiple natural guide stars
Christoph Baranec, Michael Lloyd-Hart, N. Mark Milton
Observational tests of ground layer wavefront recovery have been made in open loop using a constellation of four natural guide stars at the 1.55 m Kuiper telescope in Arizona. Such…
Performance Modeling of a Wide Field Ground Layer Adaptive Optics System
D. Andersen, J. Stoesz, S. Morris +11
Using five independent analytic and Monte Carlo simulation codes, we have studied the performance of wide field ground layer adaptive optics (GLAO), which can use a single, relativ…
First tests of wavefront sensing with a constellation of laser guide beacons
M. Lloyd-Hart, C. Baranec, N. M. Milton +4
Adaptive optics to correct current telescopes over wide fields, or future very large telescopes over even narrow fields, will require real-time wavefront measurements made with a c…
