摘要:

Gemini Multi-conjugate自适应光学系统- GeMS是安装在Gemini South望远镜上的设备仪器,在120弧秒的视场内,在近红外波长(0.95微米-2.5微米)处提供均匀的近衍射极限图像。GeMS是第一个用于天文学的钠层多激光导星自适应光学系统。它采用5颗激光引导星分布在一个60角秒的正方形星座上来测量大气畸变,用两个可变形反射镜来补偿大气畸变。本文是第二部分,介绍了GeMS的调试、总体性能和运行方案。每个子系统的性能来自调试结果。然后描述了典型的图像质量,用半最大值表示,Strehl比和系统提供的场的变化。讨论了性能限制的主要因素。最后,描述了管理费用和未来的系统升级。

英文摘要:

The Gemini Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics System - GeMS, a facility instrument mounted on the Gemini South telescope, delivers a uniform, near diffraction limited images at near infrared wavelengths (0.95 microns- 2.5 microns) over a field of view of 120 arc seconds. GeMS is the first sodium layer based multi laser guide star adaptive optics system used in astronomy. It uses five laser guide stars distributed on a 60 arc seconds square constellation to measure for atmospheric distortions and two deformable mirrors to compensate for it. In this paper, the second devoted to describe the GeMS project, we present the commissioning, overall performance and operational scheme of GeMS. Performance of each sub-system is derived from the commissioning results. The typical image quality, expressed in full with half maximum, Strehl ratios and variations over the field delivered by the system are then described. A discussion of the main contributor to performance limitation is carried-out. Finally, overheads and future system upgrades are described.
