IWORID 2004 Glasgow - J. Vallerga Adaptive optics tutorial* Turbulence in earth’s atmosphere makes stars twinkle More importantly, turbulence spreads out light; makes it a blob rather than a point Even the largest ground-based astronomical telescopes have no better resolution than a 20 cm telescope! Even the largest ground-based astronomical telescopes have no better resolution than a 20 cm telescope! *Adapted from AO lectures of Claire Max, Astro 289C, UC Santa Cruz

IWORID 2004 Glasgow - J. Vallerga Optical consequences of turbulence Temperature fluctuations in small patches of air cause changes in index of refraction (like many little lenses) Light rays are refracted many times (by small amounts) When they reach telescope they are no longer parallel Hence rays can’t be focused to a point: Parallel light raysLight rays affected by turbulence  blur  Point focus
