Abstract
The paper deals with with the on-sky performance of the pyramid wavefront sensor-based Adaptive Optics (AO) systems. These
wavefront sensors are of great importance, being used in all first light AO systems of the ELTs (E-ELT, GMT, and TMT), currently
in design phase. In particular, non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) are a critical issue encountered when using an AO system to
produce corrected images in an associated astronomical instrument. The AO wavefront sensor (WFS)…. read more
