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,…
Proper Motions and Origins of SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14
Shriharsh P. Tendulkar, P. Brian Cameron, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni
We present results from high-resolution infrared observations of magnetars SGR1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 over 5 years using laser-supported adaptive optics at the 10-m Keck Observator…
Millions of Multiples: Detecting and Characterizing Close-Separation Binary Systems in Synoptic Sky Surveys
Emil Terziev, Nicholas M. Law, Iair Arcavi +15
The direct detection of binary systems in wide-field surveys is limited by the size of the stars' point-spread-functions (PSFs). A search for elongated objects can find closer comp…
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…
