Outline
• Background on sky coverage simulator• Assumptions and parameter set chosen for NGAO• What spectral band should we use for the LOWFS?• How many LOWFS do we need? • What modes should the LOWFS measure?• What is the sky coverage for different science cases?• What is the effect of the LGS asterism radius on partial
correction and sky coverage?

Simulator methodology
• Calculate atmospheric tip/tilt error with minimum variance estimator from transformation matrices and covariance matrices of atmosphere & noise
• Optimize sampling frequency to balance servo lag and noise
• Choose combination of NGS that gives lowest total error• Monte Carlo over many NGS constellations• Generate cumulative density functions of performance

Checking against an AO Simulation
• Compare to LAOS for 4 asterisms for an 8m telescope with no windshake, no sodium tracking error, integrator control, and 10 phase screens for each asterism
– Generally good agreement, but LAOS results somewhat poorer with noise

Simulation Parameters/Assumptions• Finite outer scale (75m)
• Mauna Kea (7 layer) turbulence and velocity profile
• First 6 Zernike orders considered, only tip/tilt errors are evaluated
• Detector pixels are seeing-limited in V band (0.5 arc sec)
and diffraction-limited in J/H/K bands (λ /D rads)
• NGS are partially corrected in J/H/K bands. Not in V band.
• Integral control with g=0.5
• 7 LGS asterism (1 on-axis, 6 in a ring) = Ralf’s asterism 7a
• LGS measurements are noise-free
• Limiting magnitude is chosen to be 19 for all spectral bands
• At zenith
• Read noise = 10 e
• Run over 500 NGS constellations

Choice of Spectral Band
• Trade-off between:
1. Partial correction
2. Sky background
3. Zeropoint (number of photons)
4. Spot size
As λ increases, tip/tilt estimate

Different science cases
• Three science cases chosen from NGAO proposal• Science cases have different higher order error, galactic
latitude and science field size
1. Goods N (218 nm, 45 deg, 1.09 arc min)
2. Narrow Field (86 nm, 10 deg, 0.178 arc min)
3. Field Galaxies (173nm, 30 deg, 0.7 arc min)

Degree of partial correction
• Partial correction depends on LGS asterism radius and higher order error from science case

Conclusions
• IR WFS (either J or H) is preferable to visible• Multiple NGS WFS significantly improve tip/tilt
estimate• Measuring focus with 1 of the tilt sensors also
helps• A wider LGS asterism improves partial
correction over the field and hence sky coverage
