The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: first on-bench performance tests of the SCAO hybrid LQG+Integrator controller

N. Levraud, F. Ferreira, A. Sevin +6

The Extremely Large Telecope (ELT) is expected to begin scientific operations in 2030, with MICADO as its first-light imager. The Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO) system for…

The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the SCAO module AIT in France, from the beta flat configuration towards the flat and final configurations

Yann Clénet, Vincent Lapeyrère, Eric Gendron +45

MICADO is the designated ELT first light instrument, a near-infrared imager working at the diffraction limit of the telescope thanks to a SCAO and an MCAO mode. Since summer 2024,…

The MICADO first-light imager for the ELT: first steps of the SCAO system MAIT

Yann Clénet, Eric Gendron, Fabrice Vidal +39

MICADO is the ELT first light instrument, an imager working at the diffraction limit of the telescope thanks to two adaptive optics (AO) modes: a single conjugate one (SCAO), avail…

SAXO+, the second-stage adaptive optics for SPHERE: NCPA compensation and dark-hole loop with a pyramid wavefront sensor

Johan Mazoyer, Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher +21

The SAXO+ upgrade of the VLT/SPHERE adaptive optics system introduces a second-stage near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to improve high-contrast imaging, making accurate calibr…

The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction

Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14

The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…

Numerical simulations for the SAXO+ upgrade: Performance analysis of the adaptive optics system

Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher, Fabrice Vidal +16

SPHERE, operating at the VLT since 2014, is currently one of the high-contrast instruments with a higher performance. Its adaptive optics system, known as SAXO, will be upgraded to…
