Conjugating AO Correction to Turbulence in the WHT AO System Design

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

One of the factors which limits the performance of a NGS AO system is the brightness of available stars. This, when combined with a requirement for a high sky coverage and a moderate Strehl ratio (see Table 1), means that reference stars up to about 1.5 arcmin from the science object have to be used.
