Atmospheric tomography with separate minimum variance laser and natural guide star mode control
This paper introduces a novel, computationally efficient, and practical atmospheric tomography wavefront control architecture with separate minimum variance laser and natural guide star mode estimation. The architecture is applicable to all laser tomography systems, including multi conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO), laser tomography adaptive optics (LTAO), and multi object adaptive optics (MOAO)...
متن کاملA Guide to Comparisons of Star Formation Simulations with Observations
We review an approach to observation-theory comparisons we call “Taste-Testing.” In this approach, synthetic observations are made of numerical simulations, and then both real and synthetic observations are “tasted” (compared) using a variety of statistical tests. We first lay out arguments for bringing theory to observational space rather than observations to theory space. Next, we explain tha...
متن کاملA Single Star SCIDAR system for Profiling Atmospheric Turbulence
This paper details a generalised SCIDAR system developed for characterising atmospheric parameters using single star targets. The instrument, which is based on a commercially available 250 mm diameter telescope, offers the potential for characterising atmospheric parameters for wide areas of the sky. Here, we describe the system and results of a proof of principle study performed at an observin...
متن کاملMinimum Variance Split Tomography for Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics
Tomographic wavefront estimation using laser and natural guide stars is under development for ground-based extremely large telescopes. Typical wavefront sensing requirements include several bright mesospheric sodium laser guide stars (LGSs) supplemented by a few dim natural guide stars (NGSs) required to sense at low frame rate a small number of low-order atmospheric modes poorly measured by th...
متن کاملGuide-star-based computational adaptive optics for broadband interferometric tomography.
We present a method for the numerical correction of optical aberrations based on indirect sensing of the scattered wavefront from point-like scatterers ("guide stars") within a three-dimensional broadband interferometric tomogram. This method enables the correction of high-order monochromatic and chromatic aberrations utilizing guide stars that are revealed after numerical compensation of defoc...
