SLODAR: measuring optical turbulence altitude with a Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical distribution of atmospheric optical turbulence above large telescopes is determined from time-averaged spatial cross-correlations of local wavefront slopes for Shack-Hartmann observations of binary stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts – II. New FRB discoveries and their follow-up.

Shivani Bhandari, +191 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the discovery of four fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts at the Parkes Radio Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of the profile of atmospheric optical turbulence strength from SLODAR data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine the theoretical response of a SLODAR system based on a Shack-Hartmann WFS to a thin turbulent layer at a given altitude, and also as a function of the spatial power spectral index of the optical phase aberrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

New views of Betelgeuse: multi‐wavelength surface imaging and implications for models of hotspot generation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report contemporaneous multi-wavelength interferometric imaging of the red supergiant star Betelgeuse (a Orionis), using the Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope (COAST) and the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), at wavelengths of 700, 905 and 1290 nm.
