SUMMARY:Optical Interferometry and Adaptive Optics: False Friends? - Alex 
 Rea (Cavendish Astrophysics)
DTSTART:20120529T153000Z

UID:TALK37891@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:David Titterington
DESCRIPTION:Optical interferometers now routinely use high-speed auto-guid
 ing on each aperture in order to mitigate atmospheric effects and signific
 antly improve their back-end sensitivity.  Such systems can be thought of 
 as correcting the gross wavefront errors introduced by the atmosphere.\n  
  In this talk\, I will briefly summarise some of my work on such a system 
 to be deployed at the Magdalena Ridge Optical Interferometer\, before talk
 ing in more depth about whether current and next-generation optical interf
 erometers have similar improvements to gain from higher order wavefront co
 rrection.
