LO WFS of MAORY: performance and sky coverage assessment
Abstract
MAORY is the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics module for the European ELT. It will provide a wide-field correction for the first-light instrument MICADO. The Low-Order wavefront modes will be sensed on 3 Natural Guide Stars with Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensors, so-called the LO WFS. In the presented work, we focus on the numerical study of the main aspects that depend on the LO WFS design and operational use: low-order sensing performance and sky coverage.
