Uncertainty-Aware Learning for Improvements in Image Quality of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
Sankalp Gilda, Stark C. Draper, Sebastien Fabbro +6
We leverage state-of-the-art machine learning methods and a decade's worth of archival data from CFHT to predict observatory image quality (IQ) from environmental conditions and ob…
Astronomical Image Quality Prediction based on Environmental and Telescope Operating Conditions
Sankalp Gilda, Yuan-Sen Ting, Kanoa Withington +6
Intelligent scheduling of the sequence of scientific exposures taken at ground-based astronomical observatories is massively challenging. Observing time is over-subscribed and atmo…
Local Turbulence: Effects and causes
Olivier Lai, Kanoa Withington, Romain Laugier +1
Dome seeing is a known source of image quality degradation, but despite tremendous progress in wavefront control with the development of adaptive optics and environmental control t…
