1 Natural Guide Stars (NGS) only for Adaptive Optics (AO) on ELT Ismaning - Feb 28th 2013 by R. Ragazzoni, C. Arcidiacono, M. Bergomi, M. Dima, J. Farinato, D. Magrin, L. Marafatto, V. Viotto

2 Why NGSs for AO on ELT...? Because are cheaper than LGSs Because lim mag of Pyramid WFS pushed the limits of AO... Because the patrol field of E-ELT is huge Because the rays from LGSs will arrive nevertheless from a similarly skewed angle Because NGSs are less invasive then LGS Because MCAO can be extended a little into Global MCAO and making this true...

Locally closed loop WFSs makes Pyramids working in (almost) closed loop These devices (we called Very Linear VL- WFSs) works around non zero Concpetually is exactly the same problem as MOAO NGSs are less invasive in the scientific focal plane Stars 10arcmin FoV Science focal plane

50 MCAO on 2 arcmin at an 8m

51 MCAO on 10 arcmin at an 8m would not give advantages other then for GLAO...

52 MCAO on 10 arcmin (probably with 5+DMs) would works fine...

53 GMCAO on 10 arcmin compensating only the central 2 arcmin...!!!

54 Conclusions GMCAO can be used as back-up plan or......as performance mitigator (cyrrus, LGS failure...) and can coexists with LGSs. Performance assessment expected by AO4ELT3 in Florence late May
