Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 5(2), Article 029002. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.jatis.5.2.029002

Adaptive optics (AO) is widely used in optical/near-infrared telescopes to remove the effects of atmospheric distortion, and laser guide stars (LGSs) are commonly used to ease the requirement for a bright, natural reference source close to the scient...

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.
