Tuning the MAPS Adaptive Secondary Mirror: Actuator Control, PID Tuning, Power Spectra and Failure Diagnosis
Jess A. Johnson, Amali Vaz, Manny Montoya +17
The MMT Adaptive optics exoPlanet characterization System (MAPS) is currently in its engineering phase, operating on-sky at the MMT Telescope on Mt. Hopkins in southern Arizona. Th…
Nulling Data Reduction and On-Sky Performance of the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, B. Mennesson +36
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) is a versatile instrument designed for high-angular resolution and high-contrast infrared imaging (1.5-13 microns). In this pape…
First-light LBT nulling interferometric observations: warm exozodiacal dust resolved within a few AU of eta Corvi
D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, A. J. Skemer +37
We report on the first nulling interferometric observations with the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), resolving the N' band (9.81 - 12.41 um) emission around the ne…
High Resolution Images of Orbital Motion in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the LBT Adaptive Optics System
L. M. Close, A. Puglisi, J. R. Males +28
The new 8.4m LBT adaptive secondary AO system, with its novel pyramid wavefront sensor, was used to produce very high Strehl (75% at 2.16 microns) near infrared narrowband (Br gamm…
LBT observations of the HR 8799 planetary system: First detection of HR8799e in H band
S. Esposito, D. Mesa, A. Skemer +33
We have performed H and Ks band observations of the planetary system around HR 8799 using the new AO system at the Large Binocular Telescope and the PISCES Camera. The excellent in…
High Resolution Mid - Infrared Imaging of the AGB Star RV Boo with the Steward Observatory Adaptive Optics System
B. A. Biller, L. M. Close, A. Li +9
We present high resolution (~0.1"), very high Strehl ratio (0.97+-0.03) mid-infrared (IR) adaptive optics (AO) images of the AGB star RV Boo utilizing the MMT adaptive secondary AO…
