10. PALM-3000 P3K – HOWFS – Pupil imaging 10

11. PALM-3000 Analysis of current alignment Alignment Req.: 1/20 pixel RMS, Goal:1/40 pixel RMS –Is this the right requirement? Pupil size is what we expect to 0.2% Pupil A/B ratio: 1.0170 (target) 1.016 ± 0.001(measured) 11

12. PALM-3000 HOWFS - Tasks Left Order new optics, install, re-align Test in white light Testing of new CCD50 readout modes Format Noise Internal compliance / flexure testing and validation Integration into the testbed Test pupil shift necessary for ‘s63’ mode Testing closed loop AO with HODM! 12
