SHIMM: A Versatile Seeing Monitor for Astronomy
Saavidra Perera, Richard W. Wilson, Tim Butterley +3
Characterisation of atmospheric optical turbulence is crucial for the design and operation of modern ground-based optical telescopes. In particular, the effective application of ad…
The ESO's Extremely Large Telescope Working Groups
Paolo Padovani, Michele Cirasuolo, Remco van der Burg +82
Since 2005 ESO has been working with its community and industry to develop an extremely large optical/infrared telescope. ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT for short, is a re…
Demonstrating 24-hour continuous vertical monitoring of atmospheric optical turbulence
Ryan Griffiths, James Osborn, Ollie Farley +3
We report what is believed to be the first example of fully continuous, 24-hour vertical monitoring of atmospheric optical turbulence. This is achieved using a novel instrument, th…
Towards virtual access of adaptive optics telemetry data
Tiago Gomes, Carlos Correia, Lisa Bardou +8
Large amounts of Adaptive-Optics (AO) control loop data and telemetry are currently inaccessible to end-users. Broadening access to those data has the potential to change the AO la…
Astrosat: Forecasting satellite transits for optical astronomical observations
James Osborn, Laurence Blacketer, Matthew J. Townson +1
The impact of large-scale constellations of satellites, is a concern for ground-based astronomers. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of satellites…
Scintillation-limited photometry with the 20-cm NGTS telescopes at Paranal Observatory
Sean M. O'Brien, Daniel Bayliss, James Osborn +17
Ground-based photometry of bright stars is expected to be limited by atmospheric scintillation, although in practice observations are often limited by other sources of systematic n…
