A New Level of Realism:
Integrated end-to-end modeling
- Work by Torben Andersen et al
- Complete telescope model including:
- Mechanics: structural dynamics
- Optics: segmented mirrors and deformable mirrors
- Adaptive optics system: dynamical effects like turbulence and wind
- Science performance evaluation
- Interface to instrument simulation packages
- Results in optical path difference (OPD) maps
- OPDs can be transformed into PSFs
