Status of MagAO and review of astronomical science with visible light adaptive optics
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katie M. Morzinski +10
We review astronomical results in the visible (lambda <1 micron) with adaptive optics and note the status the MagAO system and the recent upgrade to visible camera's Simultaneous/S…
MagAO: Status and Science
Katie M. Morzinski, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +10
"MagAO" is the adaptive optics instrument at the Magellan Clay telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. MagAO has a 585-actuator adaptive secondary mirror and 1000-Hz pyramid…
Direct imaging of exoplanets in the habitable zone with adaptive optics
Jared R. Males, Laird M. Close, Olivier Guyon +16
One of the primary goals of exoplanet science is to find and characterize habitable planets, and direct imaging will play a key role in this effort. Though imaging a true Earth ana…
MagAO: Status and on-sky performance of the Magellan adaptive optics system
Katie M. Morzinski, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +19
MagAO is the new adaptive optics system with visible-light and infrared science cameras, located on the 6.5-m Magellan "Clay" telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. The inst…
Into the Blue: AO Science with MagAO in the Visible
Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males, Katherine B. Follette +11
We review astronomical results in the visible (λ<1μm) with adaptive optics. Other than a brief period in the early 1990s, there has been little astronomical science done in the vis…
