Adaptive Optics: Guide Stars

Scientific paper

The Kolmogorov theory is used to illustrate that the mean-square wave-front error E2, which results when the wave-front distortion associated with an artificial guide-star reference is used to compensate a telescope aperture of diameter D, for imaging an object at infinity is given by E2+(D/d0)5/3. The quantity d0 is a measure of the effective diameter of the compensated imaging system. In this study the quantity d0 is evaluated for several interesting cases.
