Gemini Frontier Fields: Wide-field Adaptive Optics -band Imaging of the Galaxy Clusters MACS J0416.1-2403 and Abell 2744
Mischa Schirmer, Rodrigo Carrasco, Peter Pessev +4
We have observed two of the six Frontier Fields galaxy clusters, MACS J0416.1-2403 and Abell 2744, using the Gemini Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS) and the Gemini Sou…
Analysis of on-sky MOAO performance of CANARY using natural guide stars
Fabrice Vidal, Eric Gendron, Gerard Rousset +13
The first on-sky results obtained by CANARY, the Multi-Object Adaptive Optics (MOAO) demonstrator, are analysed. The data were recorded at the William Herschel Telescope, at the en…
Gemini multi-conjugate adaptive optics system review II: Commissioning, operation and overall performance
Benoit Neichel, François Rigaut, Fabrice Vidal +30
The Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System - GeMS, a facility instrument mounted on the Gemini South telescope, delivers a uniform, near diffraction limited images at near i…
Real-time correlation reference update for astronomical adaptive optics
Alastair Basden
The use of laser guide stars in astronomical adaptive optics results in elongated Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor image patterns. Image correlation techniques can be used to determ…
Gems first science results
Benoit Neichel, Fabrice Vidal, Francois Rigaut +19
After 101 nights of commissioning, the Gemini MCAO system (GeMS) started science operations in December 2012. After a brief reminder on GeMS specificities, we describe the overall…
