5 Feb 2021 | | Abstract: | AOSAT is a python package for the analysis of single-conjugate adaptive
optics (SCAO) simulation results. Python is widely used in the astronomical
community these days, and AOSAT may be used stand-alone, integrated into a
simulation environment, or can easily be extended according to a user’s needs.
Standalone operation requires the user to provide the residual wavefront frames
provided by the SCAO simulation package used, the aperture mask (pupil) used
for the simulation, and a custom setup file describing the simulation/analysis
configuration. In its standard form, AOSAT’s "tearsheet" functionality will
then run all standard analyzers, providing an informative plot collection on
properties such as the point-spread function (PSF) and its quality, residual
tip-tilt, the impact of pupil fragmentation, residual optical aberration modes
both static and dynamic, the expected high-contrast performance of suitable
instrumentation with and without coronagraphs, and the power spectral density
of residual wavefront errors.
AOSAT fills the gap between the simple numerical outputs provided by most
simulation packages, and the full-scale deployment of instrument simulators and
data reduction suites operating on SCAO residual wavefronts. It enables
instrument designers and end-users to quickly judge the impact of design or
configuration decisions on the final performance of down-stream
instrumentation. | | Source: | arXiv, 2102.03068 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
