W.M. Keck Observatory Adaptive Optics Facility
View through CrossRef
The W.M. Keck Observatory, in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), is currently in the critical design phase of a natural guide star (NGS) and single laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) user facility for the Nasmyth platform of the Keck II 10-m telescope.1 Two science instruments will accompany the AO facility: a near infrared camera (NIRC-2) being built at Caltech, and a near infrared spectrometer (NIRSPEC) being built at UCLA. NASA is planning to fund an interferometer between the Keck telescopes which will require a second NGS AO facility on Keck I.
