Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems
A. G. Basden, D. Atkinson, N. A. Bharmal +56
Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extr…
Analysis of on-sky MOAO performance of CANARY using natural guide stars
Fabrice Vidal, Eric Gendron, Gerard Rousset +13
The first on-sky results obtained by CANARY, the Multi-Object Adaptive Optics (MOAO) demonstrator, are analysed. The data were recorded at the William Herschel Telescope, at the en…
Results from the adaptive optics coronagraph at the WHT
S. J. Thompson, A. P. Doel, R. G. Bingham +5
Described here is the design and commissioning of a coronagraph facility for the 4.2 metre William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and its Nasmyth Adaptive Optics system for Multi-purpose…
Facility class Rayleigh beacon AO system for the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope
R. G. M. Rutten, P. Clark, R. M. Myers +9
A rationale is presented for the use of a relatively low-altitude Rayleigh Laser Guide Star to provide partial adaptive optics correction across a large fraction of the sky on the…
