Phasing the Mirror Segments of the Keck Telescopes: The Broadband Phasing Algorithm

TL;DR: A wave optics variation of the Shack-Hartmann test, in which the signal is not the centroid but rather the degree of coherence of the individual subimages, is accomplished, which can capture segments with initial piston errors as large as +/-30 microm and reduce these to 30 nm--a dynamic range of 3 orders of magnitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep Impact: Observations from a worldwide Earth-based campaign

Karen J. Meech, +208 more
- 14 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: Data show that there was new material after impact that was compositionally different from that seen before impact, and the ratio of dust mass to gas mass in the ejecta was much larger than before impact.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Palomar adaptive optics project : status and performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of the Palomar 200 inch (5 m) adaptive optics system was described and an analysis of the error budget of the AO system under various atmospheric conditions was presented.

PALM-3000: Exoplanet Adaptive Optics for the 5-meter Hale Telescope

TL;DR: PALM-3000 as discussed by the authors is the second-generation adaptive optics facility for the 5.1m Hale telescope at Palomar Observatory, which is designed for high-contrast imaging and emission spectroscopy of brown dwarfs and large planetary mass bodies at near-infrared wavelengths around bright stars.
