Physics

Scientific paper

We show that the same technology developed for MMT and LBT Adaptive Secondary mirrors can be used for building segmented adaptive mirrors of essentially any size. This seems to be at the moment the most promising approach to provide the enormous number of degrees of freedom necessary for adaptive correction at visual wavelengths in giant telescopes. In this paper we recall the analytical formulation of the problem and we report recent numerical studies and initial experimental results obtained with prototype actuators for large adaptive segments.
