| Abstract | Emiliano Diolaiti (INAF Bologna) The MAORY MCAO module for the E-ELT MAORY is the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics module for the E-ELT. It is designed to relay the telescope focal plane to the E-ELT diffraction limited near-infrared camera and to compensate the wavefront errors due to atmospheric turbulence and other effects such as windshake. In the current baseline design, the compensation of the wavefront errors is performed by the telescope's adaptive mirror M4 and tip-tilt mirror M5 and by two post-focal deformable mirrors integrated in the module. The measurement of the incoming wavefront is performed by a wavefront sensing system using both Sodium Laser Guide Stars and three faint Natural Guide Stars. The MCAO system architecture is based on a robust approach ensuring reliable peak performance as well as high sky coverage. An overview of the baseline design and expected performance is given. |
