Seven years of sodium history at Paranal: temporal evolution, statistics, and modelling

Read Abstract +

The use of artificial laser guide stars (LGS) eliminates the need for a bright natural guide star (NGS) in adaptive optics (AO) systems. High-power lasers are essential components of most modern AO systems. LGS creation depends on exciting sodium (Na) atoms in the upper atmosphere, making the sodium vertical column density (C_Na) a critical parameter. Understanding the return flux from LGSs is vital for designing AO systems, ensuring optimal and stable performance by accurately specifying both the LGS and the AO system. Various studies have focused on sodium availability in the upper atmosphere, showing a strong dependence on the observatory site. It’s well-known that C_Na varies over different timescales, including hours, nights, months, seasons, and years. Given that some of the world’s largest telescopes are located in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, our goal is to provide C_Na statistics relevant to this region. We use telemetry data from the AO systems at Paranal Observatory (24.6°S, 70.4°W): GALACSI (Ground Atmospheric Layer Adaptive Corrector for Spectroscopic Imaging) and GRAAL (Ground Layer Adaptive Optics system Assisted by Lasers). These data are combined with measurements from two space instruments, SCIA-MACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartographY) and OSIRIS (Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imaging System). We carefully analyse and compare these datasets to develop a statistical model for the temporal variations of C_Na. We confirm that the AO telemetry data from Paranal systems can be used to determine CNa. Continuous measurements from mid-2017 enabled us to identify monthly and yearly variations and availability of Na in the mesopause region. Throughout the full years of measurement, the annual and semi-annual variations consistently align with previously documented findings in atmospheric studies. By meticulously comparing and fitting various long-term datasets, we created a model illustrating C_Na’s evolution over time. Our data processing and model are validated, and the results for Paranal’s latitude show notable agreement with findings from other studies.

Deep broad-band infrared nulling using a single-mode fiber beam combiner and baseline rotation

Read Abstract +

The basic advantage of single-mode fibers for deep nulling applications resides in their spatial filtering ability, and has now long been known. However, and as suggested more recently, a single-mode fiber can also be used for direct coherent recombination of spatially separated beams, i.e. in a "multi-axial" nulling scheme. After the first successful demonstration of deep (<2e-6) visible LASER nulls using this technique (Haguenauer & Serabyn, Applied Optics 2006), we decided to work on an infrared extension for ground based astronomical observations, e.g. using two or more off-axis sub-apertures of a large ground based telescope. In preparation for such a system, we built and tested a laboratory infrared fiber nuller working in a wavelength regime where atmospheric turbulence can be efficiently corrected, over a pass band (~1.5 to 1.8 micron) broad enough to provide reasonable sensitivity. In addition, since no snapshot images are readily accessible with a (single) fiber nuller, we also tested baseline rotation as an approach to detect off-axis companions while keeping a central null. This modulation technique is identical to the baseline rotation envisioned for the TPF-I space mission. Within this context, we report here on early laboratory results showing deep stable broad-band dual polarization infrared nulls < 5e-4 (currently limited by detector noise), and visible LASER nulls better than 3e-4 over a 360 degree rotation of the baseline. While further work will take place in the laboratory to achieve deeper stable broad-band nulls and test off-axis sources detection through rotation, the emphasis will be put on bringing such a system to a telescope as soon as possible. Detection capability at the 500:1 contrast ratio in the K band (~2.2 microns) seem readily accessible within 50-100 mas of the optical axis, even with a first generation system mounted on a >5m AO equipped telescope such as the Palomar Hale 200 inch, the Keck, Subaru or Gemini telescopes.
