Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 464(4), 4950-4957. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2558

The spectral resolution of a dispersive astronomical spectrograph is limited by the trade-off between throughput and the width of the entrance slit. Photonic guided wave transitions have been proposed as a route to bypass this trade-off, by enabling...

Monte-Carlo modelling of multi-object adaptive optics performance on the European Extremely Large Telescope (2016)
Journal Article
Basden, A., & Morris, T. (2016). Monte-Carlo modelling of multi-object adaptive optics performance on the European Extremely Large Telescope. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 463(4), 4184-4193. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2306

The performance of a wide-field adaptive optics system depends on input design parameters. Here we investigate the performance of a multi-object adaptive optics system design for the European Extremely Large Telescope, using an end-to-end Monte-Carlo...

Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems (2016)
Journal Article
Basden, A., Atkinson, D., Bharmal, N., Bitenc, U., Brangier, M., Buey, T., …Younger, E. (2016). Experience with wavefront sensor and deformable mirror interfaces for wide-field adaptive optics systems. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 459(2), 1350-1359. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw730

Recent advances in adaptive optics (AO) have led to the implementation of wide field-of-view AO systems. A number of wide-field AO systems are also planned for the forthcoming Extremely Large Telescopes. Such systems have multiple wavefront sensors o...
