Abstract
The active optics system of the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) adopts a positioning system for the secondary mirror, a system to support and modify the shape of the 2.6-m primary mirror, and a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor. This paper describes the concepts of the VST active optics and the commissioning of the whole system on the ESO's Paranal Observatory. 2012 SPIE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
