The paper describes two upgrades to the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer’s NOMIC camera—a quadruple annular groove phase mask coronagraph and a new Teledyne GeoSnap detecto…
Robo-AO-2: entering the era of automated science operations, hybrid wavefront sensing, and adaptive secondary integration
Christoph Baranec, Reed Riddle, James Ou +10
We present the first science results and new technical milestones from the Robo-AO-2 facility at the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope. Following successful commissioning, the s…
The Herculis system solved after nearly three centuries
Marcus L. Marcussen, Mikkel N. Lund, Frank Grundahl +11
Herculis is a bright, nearby quadruple system. Its brightest member, Her Aa, displays solar-like oscillations, establishing the system as a crucial benchmark for asterose…
Commissioning results from the Robo-AO-2 facility for rapid visible and near-infrared AO imaging
Christoph Baranec, James Ou, Reed Riddle +16
We installed the next-generation automated laser adaptive optics system, Robo-AO-2, on the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope on Maunakea in 2023. We engineered Robo-AO-2 to deli…
