Adaptive Optics Sky Coverage for Dome C Telescopes
The unique atmospheric characteristics found at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau offer significant advantages for the operation of adaptive optics systems. An analysis is presented here comparing the performance of adaptive optics systems on telescopes located at Dome C with similar systems located at a mid-latitude site. The large coherence length, wide isoplanatic angle, and long coherence tim...
متن کاملAdaptive optics sky coverage modeling for extremely large telescopes.
A Monte Carlo sky coverage model for laser guide star adaptive optics systems was proposed by Clare and Ellerbroek [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 23, 418 (2006)]. We refine the model to include (i) natural guide star (NGS) statistics using published star count models, (ii) noise on the NGS measurements, (iii) the effect of telescope wind shake, (iv) a model for how the Strehl and hence NGS wavefront senso...
متن کاملSky Coverage and Burst Repetition
To investigate the repeater content of gamma ray burst samples I develop two models where sources burst at a constant average rate. I find that the sky coverage affects the number of repeaters in a sample predominantly through the detector livetime, and that the number of bursts in the sample is the primary parameter. Thus the repeater content of burst samples should be compared within the cont...
متن کاملThe Analysis and Application of Parallel Manipulator for Active Reflector of FAST
Since radio telescope is the main tool for human being to search the universe secret, the astronomer reached unanimity at the 24th URSI Conference in Kyota, Japan, 1993, and proposed to construct the next generation of the large radio telescope (LT) (Nan & Peng, 2000). From then on, the astronomer of China began the project of Five-hundred meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) (Qiu, 1...
متن کاملKeck NGAO sky coverage modeling
This report details the sky coverage simulations carried out for the Keck Next Generation Adaptive Optics (NGAO) system. This work was carried out to meet the objectives stated in WBS Element Number: 3.1.2.2.10 Number and Type of Low Order WFS TS. As well as investigating the number of Natural Guide Star (NGS) Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (WFS), this report considers the number of modes to ...
