Yayın Integrated opto-dynamic modeling of the 4-m DAG telescope image quality performance(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2016) Zago, Lorenzo; Guex, Benjamin; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Keskin, OnurThe Turkish DAG 4-m telescope is currently through the final design stage. It is to be located on a 3170 m mountain top in Eastern Anatolia. The telescope will be a state-of-The art device, alt-Az mount with active primary and adjustable secondary and tertiary mirrors. Its optics design is specially aimed at being compatible with advance adaptive optics instrumentation. The ultimate performance of such a telescope results of multiple concurrent effects from many different components and active functions of the complex system. The paper presents a comprehensive integrated (end-To-end) model of the telescope, comprising in one computational sequence all structural, electrodynamics and oactive optics performance that produce the image quality at the focal plane. The model is entirely programmed in Matlab/Simulink and comprises a finite element model of structure and mirrors, dynamics modal reduction, deformation analyses of structural and optical elements, active optics feedback control in the Zernike modal space.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 Turkey's next big science project: DAG the 4 meter telescope(SPIE-INT Soc Optical Engineering, 2014) Keskin, Onur; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Zago, Lorenzo; Jolissaint, LaurentThe DAG (Turkish for Eastern Anatolia Observatory) 4-m telescope project has been formally launched in 2012, being fully funded by the Government of Turkey. This new observatory is to be located on a 3170 m altitude ridge near the town of Erzurum in Eastern Anatolia. First light is scheduled for late 2017. The DAG team's baseline design of the telescope consists of a Ritchey-Chretien type with alt-az mount, a focal length of 56 m and a field of view up to 30 arcmin. Multiple instruments will be located at the Nasmyth foci. The optical specifications of the telescope are set by DAG team for diffraction limited performance with active and adaptive optics. Modern mirror control technologies will allow defining in a most cost effective way the figuring requirements of the optical surfaces: the low order figuring errors of the combined optical train constituted of M1-M2-M3 are defined in terms of Zernike coefficients and referred to the M1 surface area. The high order figuring errors are defined using the phase structure functions. Daytime chilling of the closed enclosure volume and natural ventilation through suitable openings during observations will be used to ensure optimal mirror and dome seeing. A design of a ground layer adaptive optics (GLAO) subsystem is developed concurrently with the telescope. In this paper, main design aspects, the optical design and expected performance analysis of the telescope will be presented.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 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 A flexible adaptive optics concept for general purpose high angular resolution science on the DAG 4m telescope(SPIE-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2018) Jolissaint, Laurent; Bouxin, Audrey; Gökay, Ulaş Sabahattin; Keskin, Onur; Rigaut, Francois; Yeşilyaprak, CahitThanks to the availability of high actuator density deformable mirrors (ALPAO 468 DM), the high versatility of the pyramid wavefront sensor and above all, the venue of essentially no noise EMCCD detectors, it becomes possible to fully adapt the degree of correction of an adaptive optics system for a given guide star brightness and atmospheric condition. Indeed, when the conditions are very good, the high actuator density of the DM allows to reach a high Strehl by using all the modes, and when the conditions are less favorable, the spatial sampling, i. the number of modes, and the sensitivity of the detector allows to maximize the Strehl beyond what would be possible with a classical, frozen SH-WFS based system. Beside, oversampling the detector allows to relax the specification on the pupil images given by the pyramid on the detector, which in turn relaxes the pyramid prism manufacturing specifications. We are now designing an AO system for the DAG 4 m telescope that will allow, on the same system, ExAO as well as low order improved seeing observations. This article reports on the AO performance analysis, the final optical design and the design of the double prism achromatic pyramid.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 TROIA Adaptive optics system for DAG telescope; assembly and laboratory performance prior to on-sky assessment(SPIE, 2022-08-29) Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, Laurent; Bouxin, Audrey; Yeşilyaprak, CahitIn this article, we describe the current status of the development of TROIA* a pyramid wavefront sensor based adaptive optics system designed for DAG, a new 4 m telescope located in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The wavefront uses a no-noise electron-multiplied CCD camera, and the deformable mirror has a large actuators density, allowing coronagraphic science in one hand, but also system optimization for low light level or bad seeing conditions thanks to the versatility of the P-WFS. We describe the optical design, the mounting and alignment procedure and our loop control concept. Closed loop results are described, showing that while there are still many issues to fix before the sky version, the system behaves as expected.Yayın Wind disturbance cancellation for smaller alt-azimuth telescopes(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 2019-10) Ünal, Ali Cem; Kararsız, Gökhan; Yılmaz, Cemal Tuğrul; Keskin, Onur; Yeşilyaprak, CahitThis study focuses on eliminating unknown amplitude wind disturbance for 2-DOF alt-azimuth configuration small telescopes. An adaptive controller is designed to overcome wind disturbance as a set and forget system. The mathematical model is derived based on 2-DOF alt-azimuth configuration. The wind disturbance is modeled as a sum of sinusoidal with unknown amplitude, frequency and phase by using Wind-Gust model. The controller aims to cancel the effect of the disturbance on the altitude and azimuth angles of the telescope while positioning or staying static on a dedicated configuration. The asymptotic stability is proven with the Lyapunov approach. The numerical study is illustrated to success of the proposed controller.Yayın Project management of DAG: Eastern Anatolia Observatory(SPIE, 2016) Keskin, Onur; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Zago, Lorenzo; Güver, Tolga; Aliş, SinanThe four meter DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Turkish) telescope is not only the largest telescope in Turkey but also the most promising telescope in the northern hemisphere with a large potential to offer scientific observations with its cutting edge technology.
