Gemini Planet Imager Observational Calibrations III: Empirical Measurement Methods and Applications of High-Resolution Microlens PSFs
Patrick Ingraham, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Marshall D. Perrin +5
The newly commissioned Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) combines extreme adaptive optics, an advanced coronagraph, precision wavefront control and a lenslet-based integral field spectrog…
Characterization of the Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector of the Gemini Planet Imager
Pascale Hibon, Sandrine Thomas, Jennifer Dunn +18
An Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector (ADC) uses a double-prism arrangement to nullify the vertical chromatic dispersion introduced by the atmosphere at non-zero zenith distances. Th…
Beam shaping for laser-based adaptive optics in astronomy
Clémentine Béchet, Andrés Guesalaga, Benoit Neichel +5
The availability and performance of laser-based adaptive optics (AO) systems are strongly dependent on the power and quality of the laser beam before being projected to the sky. Fr…
Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system review II: Commissioning, operation and overall performance
Benoit Neichel, François Rigaut, Fabrice Vidal +30
The Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System - GeMS, a facility instrument mounted on the Gemini South telescope, delivers a uniform, near diffraction limited images at near i…
Gems first science results
Benoit Neichel, Fabrice Vidal, Francois Rigaut +19
After 101 nights of commissioning, the Gemini MCAO system (GeMS) started science operations in December 2012. After a brief reminder on GeMS specificities, we describe the overall…
Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system review I: Design, trade-offs and integration
Francois Rigaut, Benoit Neichel, Maxime Boccas +27
The Gemini Multi-conjugate adaptive optics System (GeMS) at the Gemini South telescope in Cerro Pach{ó}n is the first sodium-based multi-Laser Guide Star (LGS) adaptive optics syst…
