  3. Astrometry Requirements for TMT • [REQ-1-ORD-3650] NFIRAOS shall enable precise differential astrometry measurements, • where one-dimensional time-dependent rmsastrometric positional uncertainties, after fitting distortion measured with field stars, and over a 30 arcsecond field of view • shall be no larger than 50 µ-arcseconds in the H band for a 100s integration time. • Errors should fall as t-1/2. • Systematic one-dimensional rms position uncertainties shall be no more than 10 µas. • [REQ-1-ORD-3652] The AO system should provide sufficient calibration information to not degrade the astrometric capabilities beyond the limits set by the atmosphere.

  4. Astrometry Error Budget Organization for TMT • Reference catalogue errors • Atmospheric refraction correction • Other atmospheric effects • Opto-mechanical errors: • Telescope optics calibration • Guide probe position • Imager calibration • Optical surface calibration • Rotator calibration • Quasi-static errors • Stuck actuators, diffraction spikes • Vibrations • Coupling with other effects • Focal plane errors • More than 30 (currently 34) terms grouped in 5 categories • Organization derived in part from MICADO budget • Values of many terms are scenario-dependent • Many terms remain work in progress Driven by optical surface errors in IRIS and NFIRAOS TMT.AOS.PRE.13.087.REL01 AO4ELT3, Florence, 05/28/13

  5. Objectives of this Exercise • Develop engineering formulas for estimating astrometry errors due to optical surface errors in instruments and AO systems • Intended as a practical tool to support development of error budgets and optical surface specifications • Apply to current optical designs and surface specifications for IRIS + NFIRAOS to confirm that TMT astrometry requirements can be met • Begin to iterate designs and surface specifications as necessary… TMT.AOS.PRE.13.087.REL01 AO4ELT3, Florence, 05/28/13

  18. Summary • A Fourier model for evaluating the magnitude of image distortions due to optical surface errors has been applied to develop astrometry error budget terms for observations with IRIS+NFIRAOS on TMT • Results are preliminary, but confirm intuition and are encouraging: • Calibration of static distortions to 5-7 m arc sec is feasible, but… • Tolerances on surfaces near focal planes are tight • Even so, many references sources are needed • IRIS optical design may be iterated to adjust surface conjugates • As with K-mirrors, a consistent image rotator angle must be used for repeated observations of the same field • Image distortion due to quasi-static errors on DM11.2 are small, provided that overall plate scale changes can be calibrated using reference stars • Further modeling/simulation is planned to using more realistic models of static errors, calibration procedures, quasistatic errors, etc. TMT.AOS.PRE.13.087.REL01 AO4ELT3, Florence, 05/28/13
