KAPAO: a MEMS-based natural guide star adaptive optics system
Scott A. Severson, Philip I. Choi, Daniel S. Contreras +10
We describe KAPAO, our project to develop and deploy a low-cost, remote-access, natural guide star adaptive optics (AO) system for the Pomona College Table Mountain Observatory (TM…
Characterizing the Cool KOIs. V. KOI-256: A Mutually Eclipsing Post-Common Envelope Binary
Philip S. Muirhead, Andrew Vanderburg, Avi Shporer +23
We report that Kepler Object of Interest 256 (KOI-256) is a mutually eclipsing post-common envelope binary (ePCEB), consisting of a cool white dwarf (M = 0.592 +/- 0.089 MSun, R =…
Bringing the Visible Universe into Focus with Robo-AO
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Nicholas M. Law +13
Light from astronomical objects must travel through the earth's turbulent atmosphere before it can be imaged by ground-based telescopes. To enable direct imaging at maximum theoret…
The Robo-AO software: Fully autonomous operation of a laser guide star adaptive optics and science system
Reed L. Riddle, Mahesh P. Burse, Nicholas M. Law +8
Robo-AO is the first astronomical laser guide star adaptive optics (AO) system designed to operate completely independent of human supervision. A single computer commands the AO sy…
Robo-AO: An Autonomous Laser Adaptive Optics and Science System
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, A. N. Ramaprakash +15
Robo-AO, a fully autonomous, laser guide star adaptive optics and science system, is being commissioned at Palomar Observatory's 60-inch telescope. Here we discuss the instrument,…
Robo-AO: autonomous and replicable laser-adaptive-optics and science system
C. Baranec, R. Riddle, A. N. Ramaprakash +11
We have created a new autonomous laser-guide-star adaptive-optics (AO) instrument on the 60-inch (1.5-m) telescope at Palomar Observatory called Robo-AO. The instrument enables dif…
