Talk

In recent years Manua Kea, LBT, and now also ESO, have been
implementing an atmospheric turbulence forecast scheme. With advance
knowledge of turbulence conditions becoming more and more available,
and the availability of highly specialized simulation software such as
PASSATA or the more recent TIPTOP, it has become conceivable to think
about predicting the PSF figures of merit (namely SR...

The OT forecast on a time scale of 1 or 2 hours (short time scales) is crucial for all kind of present and new generation instrumentation supported by adaptive optics that will be mainly operated in Service Mode. In this contribution I will summarise a few among the most recent and relevant results obtained in this context by our group and where we are going on. More precisely we undertook a...

1. PASSATA and TIPTOP: simulation tools for Adaptive Optics systems in ADONI

Guido Agapito (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))

Talk

In this work we present the status of two simulation tools for Adaptive Optics systems: PASSATA and TIPTOP. These tools have been developed mainly at Arcetri observatory and they are able to simulate a wide variety of systems. PASSATA (PyrAmid Simulator Software for Adaptive opTics Arcetri) is an IDL and CUDA based library capable of doing Monte-Carlo end-to-end simulations. It is currently...

12. The PSF Reconstruction service for MICADO@ELT

Andrea Grazian (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))

Talk

MICADO is the first light adaptive optics instrument of ESO ELT,
providing diffraction limited imaging and long-slit spectroscopy at
near-infrared wavelengths. For most of the planned MICADO scientific
applications, a detailed knowledge of the PSF is required. The PSF
Reconstruction (PSF-R) Team of MICADO is currently developing, for the
first time within all ESO telescopes, a software...

13. Testing the MICADO@ELT PSF Reconstruction tool on SOUL@LBT data

Matteo Simioni (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))

Talk

A detailed knowledge of the point-spread function (PSF) is mandatory to fulfill most scientific requirements of the next generation adaptive optics (AO) instruments that will equip 30-meter class telescopes. Our blind PSF reconstructions (PSF-R) algorithm is currently being developed in the context of the MICADO@ELT consortium and it is aimed to reconstruct observation-specific PSFs without...
