Robo-AO: autonomous and replicable laser-adaptive-optics and science system
Christoph Baranec,Reed Riddle,Anamparambu N. Ramaprakash,Nicholas M. Law,Shriharsh P. Tendulkar,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Richard Dekany,Khanh Bui,Jack T.C. Davis,Mahesh P. Burse,H. K. Das,S. R. Hildebrandt,Sujit Punnadi,Roger Smith +13 more
TL;DR: A new autonomous laser-guide-star adaptive-optics instrument on the 60-inch (1.5-m) telescope at Palomar Observatory called Robo-AO, which enables diffraction-limited resolution observing in the visible and near-infrared with the ability to observe well over one-hundred targets per night due to its fully robotic operation.
