Small introduction to Adaptive Optics for ground-based telescopes

0

Labels: ,

Turbulence of Earth's atmosphere produces inhomogeneities in the air refractive index that affects on the images quality of the ground-based telescopes. Adaptive optics (AO) is a multidisciplinary area of knowledge that aims real-time compensation of the images degradation after propagation through turbulent media.

For the study of coherence estimation in complex-valued data I had to review and refresh my Linear Algebra skills. For that I needed to study several topics and the result of it will be this small survey of books, handbooks and articles that helped me in such challenging study.
