On-sky demonstration of segment piston estimation using an infrared tip-tilt sensor
The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) consists of seven 8.365-m diameter circular segments in a petal pattern to create a telescope with an effective diameter of 25.4m. The Laser Tomography Adaptive Optics system for the GMT uses six Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensors (SHWFSs) guiding on six laser guide stars to measure hig...
