Representative optical turbulence profiles for ESO Paranal by hierarchical clustering
O. J. D. Farley, J. Osborn, T. Morris +5
Knowledge of the optical turbulence profile is important in adaptive optics (AO) systems, particularly tomographic AO systems such as those to be employed by the next generation of…
Generating Artificial Reference Images for Open Loop Correlation Wavefront Sensors
M. J. Townson, G. D Love, C. D. Saunter
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors for both solar and laser guide star adaptive optics (with elongated spots) need to observe extended objects. Correlation techniques have been succe…
Optimizing astrophotonic spatial reformatters using simulated on-sky performance
Theodoros Anagnos, Robert J. Harris, Mark K. Corrigan +7
One of the most useful techniques in astronomical instrumentation is image slicing. It enables a spectrograph to have a more compact angular slit, whilst retaining throughput and i…
Optical turbulence profiling with Stereo-SCIDAR for VLT and ELT
J. Osborn, R. W. Wilson, M. Sarazin +11
Knowledge of the Earth's atmospheric optical turbulence is critical for astronomical instrumentation. Not only does it enable performance verification and optimisation of existing…
Simulation and Optimization of an Astrophotonic Reformatter
Th. Anagnos, R. J. Harris, M. K. Corrigan +7
Image slicing is a powerful technique in astronomy. It allows the instrument designer to reduce the slit width of the spectrograph, increasing spectral resolving power whilst retai…
