Yayın DAG-SLODAR (SLOpe Detection And Ranging) Teleskobu(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Şatır, Onur; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, OnurAtmosferin astronomik gözlemlere olan olumsuz etkilerini alt etmek üzere geliştirilmiş ve DAG teleskobunda da kullanılacak olan Adaptif Optik (AO) sistemleri, türbülansın ayrıntılı bir şekilde karakterize edilmesine ihtiyaç duyar. SLODAR, atmosferik optik türbülansın dikey profilini, iki yakın yıldızın Shack-Hartmann dalgacephesi algılayıcısı (SH-WFC) ile yapılan dalgacephesi eğimi ölçümlerinin çapraz korelasyonundan elde eden bir yöntemdir. SLODAR sistemi, küçük çaplı (?50cm) bir teleskobun odak düzlemine yerleştirilen, iki SH-WFC barındıran SLODAR aygıtından oluşur. Paranal, La Palma, Mauna Kea ve SAAO gözlemevlerinde kurulan SLODAR teleskopları "yer katmanı (ground layer)" olarak adlandırılan ve yerleşkenin üzerindeki ilk kilometre içindeki türbülansı ölçmek amacıyla kullanılmışlardır. Bu sunumda DAG yerleşkesinde kurulmakta olan SLODAR sisteminden bahsedilecektir.Yayın OPAM tarafından üretilen derotator sistemi ve TROIA (Turkish Adaptive Optics System for Infrared Astronomy) adaptif optik sistemi(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Keskin, OnurDAG teleskopu için FMV Işık Üniversitesi Optomekatronik Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi’nde (OPAM) son tasarımı başarıyla bitirilerek, üretim aşamasına geçilen derotator ve adaptif optik (TROIA) sistemleri tanıtılacaktır.Yayın The DAG project and its management(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Zago, Lorenzo; Keskin, OnurThe DAG Project and managerial issues related to call for tenders, determination of technical specifications both for the telescope, the dome and the observatory building will be presented.Yayın The effects of atmospheric turbulence on astrophysical observations(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Keskin, OnurAtmospheric turbulence is caused by random variations in temperature and pressure that spatially and temporally alter the air’s index of refraction. As electro-magnetic radiation from distant astronomical objects propagates through the atmosphere, the waves of light are distorted by these fluctuations in the refractive index and the information stored in the wavefront is corrupted. For astronomers, this loss of information manifests as degradation in the angular resolution that can be achieved with a ground-based telescope.Yayın TROIA adaptive optics system for DAG Telescope(SPIE, 2020-12-13) Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, Laurent; Bouxin, Audrey; Yeşilyaprak, CahitThis paper presents the specifications of TROIA-TuRkish adaptive Optics system for Infrared Astronomy system, the science rationale for these specifications, and description of the site technical and environmental conditions to be taken into account in the adaptive optics (AO) system design for the Eastern Anatolia Observatory-DAG telescope. With it's 468 actuators, EMCCD camera, and the pyramid wavefront sensor configuration; TROIA is able to adapt the degree of correction to a given guide star (GS) brightness during observations. The high actuator density of TROIA AO system will allow DAG to perform astronomical observations at ExAO performances.Yayın Adaptive optics for DAG telescope(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, LaurentWhat we propose for DAG is therefore a natural guide star GLAO system, that can be turned into a highly efficient AO system. Thus the working principle and expected performance analysis will be shown. In this manner most DAG users will be able to make some use of the DAG AO. Later, it will be possible to upgrade the system by changing th algorithm and adding 1 or 2 additional DM, and even laser guide stars.Yayın Design of the near infrared camera DIRAC for East Anatolia Observatory(SPIE, 2022) Zhelem, Ross; Content, Robert; Churilov, Vladimir; Kripak, Yevgen; Waller, Lew; Case, Scott; Mali, Slavko; Muller, Rolf; Gonzalez, Mario; Adams, Dave; Binos, Nick; Chin, Timothy; Farrell, Tony; Klauser, Urs; Kondrat, Yuriy; Kunwar, Nirmala; Lawrence, Jon; Lorente, Nuria; Luo, Summer; McDonald, Erica; McGregor, Helen; Nichani, Vijay; Pai, Naveen; Vuong, Minh; Zahoor, Jahanzeb; Zheng, Jessica; Norris, Barnaby; Bryant, Julia; Vaccarella, Annino; Herrald, Nick; Gilbert, James; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Güçsav, Bülent; Coker, Deniz; Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, LaurentThe 4m DAG telescope is under construction at East Anatolia Observatory in Turkey. DIRAC, the " DAG InfraRed Adaptive optics Camera", is one of the facility instruments. This paper describes the design of the camera to meet the performance specifications. Adaptive and auxiliary optics relay the telescope F/14 input 1:1 into DIRAC. The camera has an all refractive design for the wavelength range 0.9 - 2.4 micron. Lenses reimage the telescope focal plane 33 x 33 as (9 x 9 mm) on a 1k x 1k focal plane array. With magnification of 2x, the plate scale on the detector is 33 mas/pixel. There are 4 standard filters (Y, J, H, K) and 4 narrowband continuum filters. A 12 position filter wheel allows installation of 2 extra customer filters for specific needs; the filter wheel also deploys a pupil viewer lens. Optical tolerancing is carried out to deliver the required image quality at polychromatic Strehl ratio of 90% with focus compensator. This reveals some challenges in the precision assembly of optics for cryogenic environments. We require cells capable of maintaining precision alignment and keeping lenses stress free. The goal is achieved by a combination of flexures with special bonding epoxy matching closely the CTE of the lens cells and crystalline materials. The camera design is very compact with object to image distance <220 mm and lens diameters <25 mm. A standalone cryostat is LN2 cooled for vibration free operation with the bench mounted adaptive optics module (TROIA) and coronagraph (PLACID) at the Nasmyth focus of the DAG telescope.Yayın DAG 4m telescope: optics completion, on-site integration and test(SPIE, 2022) Pirnay, Olivier; Albart, Pierre; Bastin, Christian; De Ville, Jonathan; Gabriel, Eric; Leseur, Thibault; Lousberg, Grégory P.; Méant, Laurence; Orban, Sabrina; Tortolani, Jean-Marc; Amalfi, Manfredi; Marchiori, Gianpietro; Rampini, Francesco; Busatta, Andrea; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, OnurAMOS with EIE as main subcontractor has recently completed the erection of the 4 m telescope located at the Turkish Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) set up by the Ataturk University Astrophysics Research and Application Centre (ATASAM) of Erzurum. The telescope design is based on a Ritchey-Chrétien configuration with two folded Nasmyth focal planes and a focal length of 56m. The optical train is composed of three mirrors: the primary mirror (M1) with an optical aperture of 4m, a convex secondary mirror (M2), and a large flat folding mirror (M3). Diffraction-limited performances in optical and near infrared spectral bands will be achieved thanks to the combination of active and adaptive optics systems. The active optics system is controlling the shape of the primary mirror by means of 66 axial force actuators and position actively the secondary and tertiary mirrors by means of hexapods. The adaptive optics system will be implemented at one of the two Nasmyth ports. As main contractor, AMOS is in charge of the overall project management, the system engineering, the optical design and the active optics development. As main sub-contractor and partner of AMOS, EIE is in charge of the development of the mount. Following the factory acceptance in Europe, the telescope was dismounted and delivered in early 2021. The activities onsite were carried out according to the assembly, integration and verification plan (AIV plan). In the meantime, the fabrication of the 4 m primary mirror was completed, and the full set of mirrors was forwarded on-site before the end of the year 2021. In this paper is presented a brief description of the design and performances of the telescope followed by the project progress status at the time the optics are being integrated in the telescope for the first time. This includes the review of the mirrors as-built quality and the excepted performances of the telescope mount after alignment and tuning. The path forward final acceptance is explained with the presentation of the optical alignment method and the test carried-out on-sky.Yayın Modelling and simulation studies on adaptive controller for alt-azimuth telescopes despite unknown wind disturbance and mass(SAGE Publications, 2020-09-15) Keskin, Onur; Ünal, Ali Cem; Kararsız, Gökhan; Yılmaz, Tuğrul; Yeşilyaprak, CahitNumerous ground-based observatories are using small sized ground telescopes for scientific research purposes. The telescopes that are available on the market have three main problems. These issues can be listed as: positioning repeatability, tuning requirement according to different wind speeds for different seasons, and the mass changing via different scientific equipments added to the telescope. This study is aimed at resolving these issues for ground based small alt-azimuth telescopes. Establishing of a set and forget system is performed by designing an adaptive controller. Motor dynamics are taken into consideration for a realistic mathematical model. The Wind-Gust model that consists of a sum of sinusoidal disturbances with unknown phase, amplitude and frequency is used for the wind model. The purposed controller cancels the disturbance effects on the plant while operational positioning and also the makes the plant insensitive to mass changes. The Lyapunov approach is utilised when proving the asymptotic stability. The proposed controller’s success is illustrated with thorough numerical evaluation.Yayın Observing with DAG: performance metrics of imaging and spectroscopy(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Jolissaint, Laurent; Zago, Lorenzo; Keskin, OnurDAG telescope will be designed as a telescope with adaptive optics and seeing limited modes of observation. Its primary mirror will be a thin meniscus, controlled in shape by an active optics system.
