Characterization of atmospheric turbulence for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | Summary:One of the scientific goals of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is to measure the evolution of dark energy by measuring subtle distortions of galaxy shapes due to weak gravitational lensing caused by the evolving dark matter distribution. Understanding the point spread function (PSF) for LSST is a crucial […]
