Turbulence velocity profiling for high sensitivity and vertical-resolution atmospheric characterization with Stereo-SCIDAR (2016)
Journal Article
Osborn, J., Butterley, T., Townson, M., Reeves, A., Morris, T., & Wilson, R. (2017). Turbulence velocity profiling for high sensitivity and vertical-resolution atmospheric characterization with Stereo-SCIDAR. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 464(4), 3998-4007. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2685As telescopes become larger, into the era of ∼40 m Extremely Large Telescopes, the high-resolution vertical profile of the optical turbulence strength is critical for the validation, optimization and operation of optical systems. The velocity of atmo... Read More about Turbulence velocity profiling for high sensitivity and vertical-resolution atmospheric characterization with Stereo-SCIDAR.
Online estimation of the wavefront outer scale profile from adaptive optics telemetry (2016)
Journal Article
Guesalaga, A., Neichel, B., Correia, C., Butterley, T., Osborn, J., Masciadri, E., …Sauvage, J. (2017). Online estimation of the wavefront outer scale profile from adaptive optics telemetry. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(2), 1984-1994. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2548We describe an online method to estimate the wavefront outer scale profile,L0(h), for very large and future extremely large telescopes. The stratified information on this parameter impacts the estimation of the main turbulence parameters [turbulence...

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/stw730Recent 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...

A tomographic algorithm to determine tip-tilt information from laser guide stars (2016)
Journal Article
Reeves, A., Morris, T., Myers, R., Bharmal, N., & Osborn, J. (2016). A tomographic algorithm to determine tip-tilt information from laser guide stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 459(1), 333-341. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw622Laser Guide Stars (LGS) have greatly increased the sky-coverage of Adaptive Optics (AO) systems. Due to the up-link turbulence experienced by LGSs, a Natural Guide Star (NGS) is still required, preventing full sky-coverage. We present a method of obt...
