CANARY overview

• EAGLE – Phase A instrument concept study for E-ELT– Multi-IFU with LGS/NGS MOAO

• CANARY complements SESAME– Lab demonstrator

• CANARY consortium: LESIA, Durham, ONERA, UKATC, LAM• Location: 4.2m WHT La Palma (Nasmyth platform enclosure)

is the on-sky demonstrator for

CANARY Overview• CANARY is funded by a

combination of French and UK funding, along with FP7 Prep and FP7 OPTICON JRA-1

• Additional funding from:– STFC– INSU– Observatoire de Paris– Durham University

• UK STFC funding for Phase C approved but frozen– Decision expected soon!

• FP7 Prep funding covers systems engineering support and key component selection

CANARY Status

• Phase A on-sky dates awarded from 21st to 28th July (6 nights)– 2 months later than originally planned

• Principal optomechanical subsystems have been assembled and are undergoing testing

• CANARY instrument control system is being integrated with the hardware

• Full system integration in Durham begins next week


6

Key Components:Telescope Simulator

• Passed initial acceptance tests in December 2009

• Minor modifications required to phase screen motors and fibre source clamps

• Modifications completed and system being delivered to Durham next week

• Field lens/Fold mirror assembly also completed– Required for AIT tests with

the Telescope Simulator

Telescope simulator integration (UKATC)


7

Key Components:AO Path

• AO path has been aligned– Dummy DM flat mirror used– Avoids DM flattening routine– Allows alignment jig design

• WFE ~55nm RMS– Error budget allowance of

104nm RMS • Throughput

– 60% @ 633nm with DM flat– Expected 69% in V-band with

DM– ADONIS DM to be measured

AO Path aligned with dummy flat DM (Durham)

Flat mirror in place of DM


8

Key Components:Low-order DM

• ADONIS DM re-polished– Less than 50nm RMS error

after flattening• 4% open-loop error after

calibration• Tested using SESAME

– Closed-loop SR = 0.39– Open-loop SR = 0.35

• Currently integrated in Durham– DMC testing– Truth Sensor interfaces– NCPA removal

Closed-loop CANARY DM and Truth Sensor testbench (Durham)


9

Key Components:NGS WFSs

• 4 x Andor Ixon (E2V 128x128 EMCCD) selected

– 3 x open-loop tomography– 1 x closed-loop

• All cameras have been interfaced to the RTC

– 2 cameras in Paris– 2 cameras in Durham

• Cameras have been integrated with:

– SESAME for open-loop tomography tests (LESIA)

– DM testbench for closed-loop control and interface tests (Durham)

• NGS Pickoff optics aligned (LESIA)– Installed on 2 of 3 cameras

• Truth sensor being integrated with main AO path (Durham)

NGS pickoff and WFS optics before alignment (LESIA)


10

Key Components:NGS TAS

• Target Acquisition System assembled

• WFSs to be mounted after SESAME tests completed

• Motion control interface completed– Probe collision detection

software requires development

• Shipping to Durham for AIT mid-March

NGS TAS during assembly (LESIA)


11

Key components:WHT Nasmyth Upgrade

• Upgraded GHRIL platform work progressing

• New bench and kinematic mounts installed

• Repositioned walls installed and derotator flange sealed

• Air conditioning units to be installed early March

• Derotator assembly starts after Telescope Simulator delivery (UKATC)

• Provisional derotator installation date of March– Backup date in May

25

ICS/RTCS Progress: Summary• RTCS interfaced to subsystems at Paris and

Durham• Low-level functionality has been implemented

and is being tested• Scripting interface implemented

– Durham/Paris each have a list of scripts to implement and test

• GUI framework developed– Command set and functionalities identified– GUI running on workstation

28

Schedule Progress• Some delayed subsystems:

– RTCS reconstructor box– Telescope simulator– NGS TAS– WPU

• Delays identified early and have not impacted overall schedule– RTCS/ICS testing continued with hardware in test configurations

• SESAME bench• DM testbench in Durham

– Software development continued with dummy systems• Awarded an on-sky date 2 months after initial plan + 1.5 month

allowance for schedule slip– Still have ~ 2 week buffer for hardware (more for software)
