Automated wind velocity profiling from adaptive optics telemetry (2019)
Journal Article
Laidlaw, D. J., Osborn, J., Morris, T. J., Basden, A. G., Gendron, E., Rousset, G., Townson, M. J., & Wilson, R. W. (2020). Automated wind velocity profiling from adaptive optics telemetry. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 491(1), 1287-1294. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz3062

Ground-based adaptive optics (AO) systems can use temporal control techniques to greatly improve image resolution. A measure of wind velocity as a function of altitude is needed to minimize the temporal errors associated with these systems. Spatio-te...

The use of artificial Intelligence techniques has become widespread in many fields of science, due to their ability to learn from real data and adjust to complex models with ease. These techniques have landed in the field of adaptive optics, and are... Read More about Experience with Artificial Neural Networks Applied in Multi-object Adaptive Optics.

Efficient implementation of pseudo open loop control for adaptive optics on Extremely Large Telescopes (2019)
Journal Article
Basden, A., Jenkins, D., Morris, T., Osborn, J., & Townson, M. (2019). Efficient implementation of pseudo open loop control for adaptive optics on Extremely Large Telescopes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 486(2), 1774-1780. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz918

Closed-loop adaptive optics systems which use minimum mean square error wavefront reconstruction require the computation of pseudo open loop wavefront slopes. These techniques incorporate a knowledge of atmospheric statistics which must therefore be...

A many-core CPU prototype of an MCAO and LTAO RTC for ELT-scale instruments (2019)
Journal Article
Jenkins, D. R., Basden, A. G., & Myers, R. M. (2019). A many-core CPU prototype of an MCAO and LTAO RTC for ELT-scale instruments. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 485(4), 5142-5152. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stz638

We propose a many-core CPU architecture for Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) scale adaptive optics (AO) real-time control (RTC) for the multi-conjugate AO (MCAO) and laser-tomographic AO (LTAO) modes. MCAO and LTAO differ from the more conventional si... Read More about A many-core CPU prototype of an MCAO and LTAO RTC for ELT-scale instruments.
