GMagAO-X: extreme adaptive optics & coronagraphy for GMT at first light
Abstract
We describe plans for an “extreme” adaptive optics (ExAO) system for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT). Since it is based on existing proven technology, GMagAO-X can be available at, or shortly-after, first light of the GMT, allowing the observatory to deliver groundbreaking exoplanet science almost immediately.
