AbstractThe unique properties of atmospheric turbulence in atmosphere above the Antarctic plateau offer some compelling advantages for astronomical adaptive optics and interferometry. The shallow nature of the turbulent layer at the South Pole results in low scintillation and large angular coherence (Marks et al. 1996, 1999; Lloyd, Oppenheimer, & Graham 2002; Lloyd et al. 2003). Recent wintertime SODAR measurements at Dome C indicate that similar conditions exist at Dome C, but that the turbulent layer is likely both weaker and shallower. This paper discusses the outcomes of such conditions on the atmospheric properties for astronomy. Particularly due to the low wind speed at Dome C, the atmospheric properties are highly favorable for adaptive optics and interferometry. The resulting long coherence time enables adaptive optics at visible wavelengths, and the large angular coherence results in a useful field of view as a result.

Adaptive Optics System

Abstract An adaptive optics system can measure and compensate the wavefront distortion caused by dynamic disturbance in real time. It is usually used for astronomical observation and other occasions. According to the current technology, it is only suitable for small field of view optical system or point target, but not for ground extended target detection. In order to solve this problem, a correction method is proposed: firstly, the sub aperture image of wavefront sensor is divided into several sub regions, each sub region corresponds to a certain light direction or field angle range; secondly, calculate the offset of the image feature points in each sub region, and an image with good correction effect in a field of view in this direction is obtained; the last step is to measure each sub region one by one and combine these images into a full frame image. Through comparison, it is found that the method proposed in this paper is essentially to divide the extended target into multiple point light sources for correction.
