TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the LBT adaptive optics system, PISCES, and LBTI/LMIRCam to image all four of the HR 8799 planets at H-band and 3.3 microns.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
First light AO (FLAO) system for LBT: final integration, acceptance test in Europe, and preliminary on-sky commissioning results
Simone Esposito,Armando Riccardi,Luca Fini,Alfio Puglisi,Enrico Pinna,Marco Xompero,Runa Briguglio,Fernando Quiros-Pacheco,P. Stefanini,Juan Carlos Guerra,Lorenzo Busoni,Andrea Tozzi,F. Pieralli,Guido Agapito,Guido Brusa-Zappellini,Richard A. Demers,Joar Brynnel,Carmelo Arcidiacono,Piero Salinari +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the laboratory characterization and performance evaluation of the First Light Adaptive Optics (FLAO) the Natural Guide Star adaptive optics system for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), which uses an adaptive secondary mirror with 672 actuators and a pyramid wavefront sensor with adjustable sampled pupil from 30×30 down to 4×4 subapertures.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Large Binocular Telescope Adaptive Optics System: New achievements and perspectives in adaptive optics
Simone Esposito,Armando Riccardi,Enrico Pinna,Alfio Puglisi,Fernando Quiros-Pacheco,Carmelo Arcidiacono,Marco Xompero,Runa Briguglio,Guido Agapito,Lorenzo Busoni,Luca Fini,Javier Argomedo,A. Gherardi,Guido Brusa,Doug Miller,Juan Carlos Guerra,P. Stefanini,Piero Salinari +17 more
TL;DR: The comparison of the performances offered by a Natural Guide Star (NGS) system upgraded with the state-of-the-art technology and those delivered by existing Laser Guides Star (LGS) systems suggests rethinking the current role ascribed to NGS and LGS in the next generation of AO systems.
