| Abstract: |
Solar adaptive optics has become an indispensable tool for high
resolution solar observations. New generation solar telescopes, such
as the 4 m aperture Advanced Technology Solar Telescope, introduce a
new set of challenges to solar adaptive optics correction. Larger
aperture sizes are more susceptible to the effects on AO correction
performance of the extended field-of-view of the cross-correlating
Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. Observations at large zenith angles
further enhance these field-of-view effects and can introduce more
performance reductions due to atmospheric dispersion. We study the
expected correction performance of solar adaptive optics systems in
large aperture solar telescopes using an end-to-end adaptive optics
simulation package. |
