Pyramid Wavefront Sensor behavior in partial correction Adaptive Optic systems
Simone Esposito,Armando Riccardi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the limiting magnitude for a pyramid sensor operating in a closed loop astronomical adaptive Optics system and show that when a point-like reference source is used, the pyramid sensor exhibits a significant gain in terms of limiting magnitude over the widely used Shack-Hartmann sensor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffraction-limited Visible Light Images of Orion Trapezium Cluster With the Magellan Adaptive Secondary AO System
K. M. Morzinski,Katherine B. Follette,T. J. Rodigas,P. M. Hinz,Alfio Puglisi,Simone Esposito,Armando Riccardi,E. Pinna,Marco Xompero,Runa Briguglio,Trent M. Hare +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Magellan Adaptive Optics system (MagAO) was used to obtain very high spatial resolution observations in visible light with MagAO's VisAO CCD camera.
