Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics for Astronomy [E-Book] / edited by N. Ageorges, C. Dainty
Adaptive optics allows the theoretical limit of angular resolution to be achieved from a large telescope, despite the presence of turbulence. Thus an eight meter class telescope, such as one of the four in the Very Large Telescope operated by ESO in Chile, will in future be routinely capable of an a...
