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…
