Final PhD Oral Examination (Thesis Title: “Studies of atmospheric properties for optical ground-based astronomy and methods to enhance laser guide star adaptive optics performance”)

Abstract:
Ground-based astronomy suffers from waveform distortion produced by the turbulent atmosphere, which prevents telescopes from reaching diffraction-limited resolution. Modern large telescopes and next generation extremely-large telescopes use or will use adaptive optics systems with laser guide stars to correct for atmospheric wavefront distortion. The first part of the thesis deals with astronomical site testing and the second part with methods for adaptive optics system improvement.
Event Location:
