| 29 | | Observations with giant segmented ground telescopes promise to revolutionise VIS and NIR astronomy. Yet, to take full benefit of the collecting power, resolution (and sensitivity) of these huge machines, adaptive optics systems are key and are poised to become mainstream. They are to assist 100% of the observations, for ELTs are too large to operate as conventional seeing-limited telescopes. [[BR]][[BR]]Carlos Correia will provide an overview of current developments on novel wave-front sensing techniques using natural and laser guide stars, advanced wave-front reconstruction for the different AO modes and the challenges faced when customising AO post-processing in order to meet stringent science goals. Furthermore, he will show how these developments are propelling the design of HARMONI, the European Extremely Large Telescope's 1st light IFU.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2019S1/2019-01-11_EALT.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
