P3.10 NCPA working and performance

• Phase : 3
• Status : Draft
• Category : Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C4)
• Recurrence : once at commissioning
• Duration : 12 hours

Description

• Evaluate the NCPA working and performance using the baseline approach, phase-diversity approach, combination of both, and measurement of NCPA using the Wollaston prison & dual-band imaging.

Prerequisites

• Atmospheric conditions: ?
• Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
• AO working.
• Target(s) at different Zenith distances with different magnitudes?

Procedure

• Acquire star of given magnitude. Start SOUL-AO.
• Check the working and performance of the NCPA baseline approach. Take images at SCICAM.
• Check the phase diversity approach using Wollaston prism + DI-DBI. Take images at SCICAM.
• Check the phase diversity approach (using the internal calibration source). Take images at SCICAM.
• Repeat for a different star (of different magnitudes and for different elevation of the telescope)

Success criteria

• ???
