  1. Update Tim Morris Durham University FP7 Prep WP 9340 FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  2. Contents • Brief CANARY overview • Relationship to EAGLE • CANARY Consortium • CANARY Status • FP7 Prep Specifics • Systems Engineering / Key Component Selection • Status • Deliverables and Schedule FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  3. CANARY overview is the on-sky demonstrator for • 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) FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  4. 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 Layout of upgraded Nasymth platform at the WHT FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  5. 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 FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  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) FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  7. Flat mirror in place of DM AO Path aligned with dummy flat DM (Durham) 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 FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  8. Closed-loop CANARY DM and Truth Sensor testbench (Durham) 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 FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  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) FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  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) FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  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 CANARY bench installation within GHRIL (ING) FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting

  12. ~80% complete AIT Progress: Optomechanics Focal Plane Calibration Acquisition Camera Science Verification AO Path NGS FSM Low-order DM Science Relay NGS TAS WHT Nasmyth GHRIL Derotator Suitable for RTCS testing Truth Sensor Figure Sensor NGS Pickoffs Field Lens Fold Mirror External Turbulence Profiler Telescope Simulator 3 x NGS WFS Green bars show subsystem progress towards final CANARY configuration FP7 Prep WP9000 Progress Meeting
