Description

Proposed, built and managed by the IAC in international collaboration with the Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO) and Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING), the project aim was to develop a two-dimensional fibre optic spectroscopy system for the "William Herschel" telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos. The new system, which has been available to the international scientific community since 1998, can carry out spectroscopy across 200 vast regions of astronomical objects simultaneously.

In its first light it will consist of a natural star system (NGS), which will be upgraded later to an Artificial Laser Guided Star (LGS) system. The system is currently in the final stages of integration and verification (AIV), and it is expected that during 2021 the

    GTCAO LGS. Adaptative Optics and Laser Guide Star for GTC

    The Adaptive Optics (AO) for the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) corrects the effect of the atmospheric turbulence on the light, to exploit the high spatial resolution capability of GTC. The Laser Guide Star (LGS) extends the coverage of GTCAO to any part of the sky, increasing dramatically the capability to do high spatial resolution science.
