Wavefront Profiling via correlation of GLAO open loop telemetry
Eden A. McEwen, Ryan Dungee, Mark Chun +3
Adaptive Optics (AO) used in ground based observatories can be strengthened in both design and algorithms by a more detailed understanding of the atmosphere they seek to correct. N…
He'e-Lab: A modular testbed for astrophotonics and wavefront sensing development
Sebastien Vievard, Christopher Hamner, Nour Skaf +14
Advanced astronomical instrumentation requires accessible, reconfigurable platforms to validate novel technologies and algorithms before on-sky deployment. We present the design, a…
Robo-AO-2: entering the era of automated science operations, hybrid wavefront sensing, and adaptive secondary integration
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, James Ou +10
We present the first science results and new technical milestones from the Robo-AO-2 facility at the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope. Following successful commissioning, the s…
Analysis of Laser-Satellite Deconfliction for Astronomical Observatories
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, Yuhei Takagi +1
We present an analysis of laser-satellite deconfliction across three astronomical laser observatories for right ascension and declination targets and fixed azimuth and elevation ra…
Simulation results for Robo-AO-2 using HAPA: a wavefront sensing technique for improving the adaptive optics correction of fainter stars
Ruihan Zhang, Christoph Baranec, Marcos A. van Dam +3
Direct imaging of exoplanets allows us to measure positions and chemical signatures of exoplanets. Given the limited resources for space observations where the atmosphere is absent…
Commissioning results from the Robo-AO-2 facility for rapid visible and near-infrared AO imaging
Christoph Baranec, James Ou, Reed Riddle +16
We installed the next-generation automated laser adaptive optics system, Robo-AO-2, on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope on Maunakea in 2023. We engineered Robo-AO-2 to deli…
