OverviewAdaptive optics (AO) corrects distortions created by atmospheric turbulence and delivers diffraction-limited images on ground-based telescopes. The vastly improved spatial resolution and sensitivity has been utilized for studying everything from the magnetic fields of sunspots upto the internal dynamics of high-redshift galaxies. This thesis about AO science from small and large telescopes is divided into two parts: Robo-AO and magnetar kinematics. In the first part, I discuss the construction and performance of the world's first fully autonomous visible light AO system, Robo-AO, at the Palomar 60-inch telescope. Robo-AO operates extremely efficiently with an overhead Full Product DetailsAuthor: Shriharsh TendulkarPublisher: Dissertation.com Imprint: Dissertation.com Dimensions: Width: 18.90cm , Height: 1.20cm , Length: 24.60cm Weight: 0.399kg ISBN: 9781612334240ISBN 10: 1612334245 Pages: 218 Publication Date: 04 June 2014 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock  We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
