Vlt: Guide Stars

Scientific paper

ESO has been studying the possibility of introducing a Laser Guide Star Facility (LGSF) for the VLT to serve the adaptive optics instruments foreseen on the UT3 telescope of the Paranal Observatory: NAOS-CONICA and SINFONI. The definition of the LGSF is at the conceptual design stage, with a solid baseline solution explored in detail and two open options: the final choice for the laser, and the use of a fibre relay for the laser beam instead of a mirror system. This article gives an overview of the conceptual design the authors are currently working on.
