The Sibley Graduate Research Symposium (SGRS) and prospective graduate student visit weekend were held March 6th-7th. Daniel Garrett represented SIOSlab at the poster session with his poster titled: WFIRST-AFTA Exoplanet Imaging Mission Simulation.
Aspect Ratio of the Ellipses
The relationship between the aspect ratio and tip-tilt parameters. A third order 2D-polynomial is used to fit the surface.
Automated Alignment of Optical System
A schematic shows how our automated alignment system works: (click to see better image) The image in our simulation shows a deformed ellipse. We use Gaussian ellipse fitting method to extract useful information from the image, then use them in
