Single-star optical turbulence profiling techniques for the SHIMM and other Shack-Hartmann instruments
Ryan Griffiths, Timothy Butterley, Richard Wilson +1
Atmospheric optical turbulence (OT) monitoring is crucial for site characterisation at astronomical observatories and optical communications ground stations. The Shack-Hartmann Ima…
Estimating Atmospheric Wind Speeds From Gemini Planet Imager AO Telemetry
Zhenxi Du, Saavidra Perera, Daniel Levinstein +6
The Earth's atmosphere is comprised of turbulent layers that result in speckled and blurry images from ground-based visible and infrared observations. Adaptive Optics (AO) systems…
A comparison of next-generation turbulence profiling instruments at Paranal
Ryan Griffiths, Lisa Bardou, Timothy Butterley +6
A six-night optical turbulence monitoring campaign has been carried at Cerro Paranal observatory in February and March, 2023 to facilitate the development and characterisation of t…
Atmospheric Scintillation in Astronomical Photometry
J. Osborn, D. Föhring, V. S. Dhillon +1
Scintillation noise due to the Earth's turbulent atmosphere can be a dominant noise source in high-precision astronomical photometry when observing bright targets from the ground.…
