Low Order Adaptive Optics with Very Faint Reference Stars
Craig Mackay
It is widely believed that adaptive optics only has a role in correcting turbulent wavefronts on large telescopes using very bright reference stars. Unfortunately these are very sc…
High Resolution Imaging in the Visible with Faint Reference Stars on Large Ground-Based Telescopes
Craig Mackay
Astronomers working with faint targets will benefit greatly from improved image quality on current and planned ground-based telescopes. At present, most adaptive optic systems are…
Towards high-resolution astronomical imaging
Craig Mackay, David Buscher, Nahid Chowdhury +8
This paper is a report from a recent meeting on "the Future of high-resolution imaging in the visible and infrared", reviewing the astronomical drivers for development and the tech…
The TP3-WFS: a new guy in town
Carlos Colodro-Conde, Sergio Velasco, Roberto López +11
The TP3-WFS (Two Pupil Plane Positions Wavefront Sensor) is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the first physical implementation of the geometrical wavefront reconstruction al…
The adaptive optics lucky imager (AOLI): presentation, commissioning, and AIV innovations
Sergio Velasco, Carlos Colodro-Conde, Roberto L. López +6
Here we present the Adaptive Optics Lucky Imager (AOLI), a state-of-the-art instrument which makes use of two well proved techniques, Lucky Imaging (LI) and Adaptive Optics (AO), t…
Completing the puzzle: AOLI full-commissioning fresh results and AIV innovations
Sergio Velasco, Carlos Colodro-Conde, Roberto L. López +13
The Adaptive Optics Lucky Imager (AOLI) is a new instrument designed to combine adaptive optics (AO) and lucky imaging (LI) techniques to deliver high spatial resolution in the vis…
