The observing with adaptive optics school: training the next generation of AO scientists and engineers

B. Neichel, L. Busoni, V. Chambouleyron, A. Alagao et autres

Adaptive optics (AO) has become an indispensable technology for modern ground-based astronomy and optical engineering. However, the combination of theoretical depth, practical instrumentation skills, and system-level understanding required to master AO is rarely accessible within standard academic curricula. To address this gap, …

Estimating differential pistons for the Extremely Large Telescope using focal plane imaging and a residual network

P. Janin-Potiron, M. Gray, B. Neichel, M. Dumont et autres

Context. As the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) approaches operational status, optimising its imaging performance is critical. A differential piston, arising from either the adaptive optics (AO) control loop, thermomechanical effects, or other sources, significantly degrades the image quality and is detrimental to …
