ESO/VLT Adaptive Optics Facility
2015
The Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF) project envisages transforming one of the VLT units into an adaptive telescope and providing its ESO (European Southern Observatory) second generation instruments with turbulence corrected wavefronts. For MUSE and HAWK-I this correction will be achieved through the GALACSI and GRAAL AO modules working in conjunction with a 1170 actuators Deformable Secondary Mirror (DSM) and the new Laser Guide Star Facility (4LGSF). Multiple wavefront sensors will enable GLAO and LTAO capabilities, whose performance can greatly benet from a knowledge about the stratication of the turbulence in the atmosphere. This work, totally based on end-to-end simulations, describes the validation tests conducted on a C 2 n proler adapted for the AOF specications. Because an absolute prole calibra
