2 Outline 1 PSF-R: Scientific motivations 2 Methodology : from telemetry to PSF 3 Towards best-fit PSF-R 4 Summary Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/217 2 / 2
3 What do we care about getting the system PSF? Photometry Galaxies assembly Interstellar med. Morphology PSF Stellar Population Black hole masses Asteroids Companions Astrometry The object brightness distribution is convolved with the PSF : Im = Obj PSF Getting the real object properties requires a deconvolution process of focal-plane images Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/217 3 / 2
4 What are exactly the needs? Galactic center Quasi stellar objects Aims : measuring astrometry at.1 mas accuracy for tracking orbits around the central black hole Issue : sources confusion caused by overlapping Method : PSF model-fitting Aims : measuring masses of the host galaxy bulge and central black hole to evaluate potential correlation Issue : 3-4 order of magnitude on QSO/host galaxy contrast Method : PSF subtraction Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/217 4 / 2

7 What does the PSF look like Diffraction-limited Seeing-limited λ/dλ/d λ/r λ/r PSF characterized by the pupil shape, FWHM = λ/d PSF characterized by the atmosphere seeing, FWHM = λ/r Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/217 5 / 2
8 What about the PSF after AO correction? GS Astronomical target Flat wavefront Atmospheric turbulence Distorded wavefront Telescope AO System Corrected wavefront Beam splitter Science Residual camera wavefront Deformable mirror Atmospheric turbulence : Introduce OPD of 1-1 µm Deformable mirror : Restores the wavefront flatness by pushing/pulling on actuators Wavefront sensor : Provides the phase gradient over the pupil Real time Real-time computer : computer Converts recursively WFS Wavefront measurements to DM commandsensor

10 AO residual Anisoplanatism Static aberrations Fitting error From telemetry to PSF GS Astronomical target Flat wavefront Atmospheric turbulence Distorded wavefront Telescope AO System Corrected wavefront Beam splitter Science Residual camera wavefront Deformable mirror Generally we have : PSFε = F [P(r) exp(iφε(r))] 2 Residual phase : φε = φε }{{} + φncpa + φfield }{{} Real time computer + φ }{{} + φ }{{} WFS measurements : s = Gφε + η = φε = R s Static aberrations : Must be calibrated Anisoplanatism : Statistics known from the Cn 2 (h) profile and the separation Wavefront sensor Fitting error : Statistics known from the seeing
11 The OTF calculation PSF obtained from the OTF : PSF ε = F 1 [OTF ε ] Residual OTF is expressed from the covariance matrix of the residual phase : OTF ε (u/λ) = drp(ρ)p(r + u) exp (C ε (r, r + u) C ε (, )) P Getting the OTF/PSF is a matter of estimating the covariance of the residual phase C ε (θ) = C ε }{{} AO residual + C (θ, Cn 2 (h)) + C NCPA + C Field (θ) }{{}}{{} Aniso model static aberrations + C (r ) }{{} Fitting model C ε = R ss t R t C η + C alias Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/217 9 / 2
12 Anisoplanatism effect Anisoplanatism is produced by altitude turbulence during AO closed-loop operations and caused by the spatial correlation of the residual phase across the field : Angular anisoplanatism : phase correlation between two separated cylinders Focal anisoplanatism : phase correlation between a cone (LGS) and a cylinder Tip-tilt anisoplanatism : angular anisoplanatism on tip-tilt modes only Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/217 1 / 2

16 Separation [arcsec] Which metrics for evaluating PSF-R? How can we evaluate the efficiency of PSF-R? which metrics should we consider? PSF characteristics Strehl ratio - FWHM - Encircled energy - PSF profile - Reconstruction residual Science estimates Photo-astrometry accuracy B (α, PSF, p) = p(1) (PSF (α x, α y ) + PSF (α x + p(2), α y + p(3))) ε 2 ) (p) = B (α, PSF ε, p ref ) B (α, PŜFε, p Clean Binary on-sky # Noisy Binary on-sky # Binary model best-fitted # Residual # Olivier Beltramo-Martin (LAM) PSF-R at Keck 1/19/ / 2

b) intensity changes: scintillation!i/i on the ground is proportional to h!", i.e. # h e -h/h this function has maximum at h = H = 8.5 km! scintillation comes mostly from high layers! seeing and scintillation
