  1. 5. The ELT, how to build an adaptive telescope
    Dr Jason Spyromilio (ESO)
    30/09/2024, 09:00
  2. 6. Imaging through the atmosphere
    Dr Lorenzo Busoni (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))
    30/09/2024, 11:00
  3. 7. Wavefront sensors
    Dr Charlotte Bond (STFC UKRI)
    30/09/2024, 14:30
  4. 8. Fundamentals of Control Theory and Wavefront Reconstruction
    Dr Carlos Correia (Universidade do Porto)
    01/10/2024, 09:00

    This lecture provides an introduction to wavefront reconstruction and dynamic control in adaptive optics (AO) systems. We will explore the key principles, including the application of inverse-problem theory to wavefront reconstruction and optimal/sub-optimal control to real-time DM correction, such as feedback loops, control matrix techniques, and optimization strategies to compensate for...

  5. 9. AO system design
    Dr Jean-Pierre Veran (NRC-HAA)
    01/10/2024, 11:00

    This lecture provides an introduction to the design of AO systems: how to specify wavefront sensors, wavefront correctors, AO control systems, and implementation errors based on performance requirements, such as residual wavefront error and sky coverage, and observing conditions, such as atmospheric turbulence and observatory-induced disturbances. The lecture will show how residual errors can...

  6. 10. Image deconvolution in astronomy: PSF reconstruction, PSF modeling & fitting
    Dr Romain Fetick (LAM)

  7. 11. Beyond SCAO: Wide Field AO
    Dr Benoit Neichel (LAM)
    02/10/2024, 09:00
  8. 12. Photometry and astrometry with AO assisted observations
    Dr Giuliana Fiorentino (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))
    02/10/2024, 11:00
  9. 13. Search for Habitable Exoplanets with the ELT and the role of Adaptive Optics
    Dr Markus Kasper (ESO)
    02/10/2024, 14:30

    The lecture will present the current understanding of habitable exoplanets and discuss how high-contrast direct imaging using the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) can enhance this knowledge. To achieve this, a specialized instrument must meet certain requirements. I will introduce a potential design for such an instrument, referred to as the Planetary Camera and Spectrograph (PCS). A key...

  10. 14. IFU spectroscopy with AO assisted observations
    Dr Giovanni Cresci (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))
    03/10/2024, 09:00
  11. 15. The development of an AO system for a VLT instrument: from science cases to commissioning
    Dr Armando Riccardi (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))
    03/10/2024, 11:00

    This lecture outlines the process of designing an AO system for VLT, beginning with top-level requirements and covering the steps up to commissioning. The development experience of the UT4 instrument ERIS will be used as an example, highlighting challenges, solutions, and lessons learned.
