Introducing a new generation adaptive optics simulation framework: from PASSATA to SPECULA

Fabio Rossi, Alfio Puglisi, Guido Agapito

Abstract

Numerical end-to-end simulation in adaptive optics (AO) is a key tool in the development of complex systems, from the initial design to the commissioning phase. Based on our previous experience with PASSATA, we decided to develop a new AO simulation framework in the Python language, naming it short for: scalable parallel execution of computations upscaling large adaptive optics simulations (SPECULA). Following an object-oriented approach, the physical entities are modeled as processing objects connected to each other to exchange data objects … leggi di più read more

SHARK-NIR: il sito web!

Ciao a tutti, in abito semplice e con molta voglia di migliorarsi e crescere ecco a voi il sito web di SHARK-NIR: https://sites.google.com/inaf.it/shark-nir/home

Il progetto, il cui cuore pulsante e gli sporchi cacciavitari impegnati nella fase di integrazione hanno sede nei laboratori dell’Osservatorio di Padova, e’ la futura camera coronografica nel vicino infrarosso per il Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona. read more

Wavefront sensing in the VLT/ELT era + AO workshop week

Due to the COVID-19 situation, the following AO events were momentarily suspended in Europe: 

  • the AO workshop week in March/June 2020 in Porto
  • the Wavefront sensing in the VLT/ELT era in October 2020 in Nice 

The health conditions have been evolving favourably for the past few weeks (in Europe). Based on this positive evolution, we are pleased to confirm the organization of an event that will merge the WFS workshop with the AO workshop week: the 5th edition of the “Wavefront sensing in the VLT/ELT era + AO workshop week” to be held in Nice, from October 13 to 16th, 2020.
