Advances in control of a Pyramid Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics system
Guido Agapito, Fabio Rossi, Cedric Plantet +2
Adaptive optics systems are an essential technology for the modern astronomy for ground based telescopes. One of the most recent revolution in the field is the introduction of the…
MAORY: A Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY for ELT
Paolo Ciliegi, Guido Agapito, Matteo Aliverti +73
MAORY is the adaptive optics module for ELT providing two gravity invariant ports with the same optical quality for two different client instruments. It enable high angular resolut…
The HOSTS survey: evidence for an extended dust disk and constraints on the presence of giant planets in the Habitable Zone of Leo
D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, G. M. Kennedy +38
The young (50-400 Myr) A3V star Leo is a primary target to study the formation history and evolution of extrasolar planetary systems as one of the few stars with known hot ($\s…
Bringing SOUL on sky
Enrico Pinna, Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi +20
The SOUL project is upgrading the 4 SCAO systems of LBT, pushing the current guide star limits of about 2 magnitudes fainter thanks to Electron Multiplied CCD detector. This improv…
EMCCD for Pyramid wavefront sensor: laboratory characterization
Guido Agapito, Tommaso Mazzoni, Fabio Rossi +3
Electro-Multiplying CCDs offer a unique combination of speed, sub-electron noise and quantum efficiency. These features make them extremely attractive for astronomical adaptive opt…
MAORY AO performances
Guido Agapito, Cedric Plantet, Lorenzo Busoni +7
The Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics RelaY (MAORY) should provide 30% SR in K band (50% goal) on half of the sky at the South Galactic Pole. Assessing its performance and the sensit…
