Title: | VST optomechanical technical specifications versus error budget | Authors: | MANCINI, Dario Marra, G. CORTECCHIA, Fausto Sedmak, G. Ferragina, Luigi FIERRO, Davide Caputi, O. Mancini, G. |
Issue Date: | 2005 | Volume: | Optical Design and Engineering II | Editors: | Mazuray, Laurent; Wartmann, Rolf | Series: | PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE | Number: | 5962 | First Page: | 596221-- | Abstract: | This paper concerns optomechanics tolerances specifications for VST telescope. It shows the strategy of tolerances definition for optomechanical systems. These prescriptions are the baseline for development and tests of VST telescope optomechanic components. The telescope is provided with an active optics control system, so some tolerances may be relaxed, respect to passive systems designs since they can be actively compensated. Gravitational and thermal deformations have been also considered. The design error budget strategy is described. Manufacturing, mounting and alignment tolerances have been evaluated within the whole telescope image quality error budget, in terms of rms spot radius. Since the telescope is seeing limited, effects of atmospheric seeing have also been considered in the error budget in terms of CIR. Do to its large field of view (1 degree square), the VST optical design (optomechanics tolerances included) is the first source of error if compared to a classical telescope design that has a small field of view. The overall optical quality depends also on telescope configuration (ADC and one-lens corrector or two-lens corrector configuration) and on observational zenith angle (0÷50°). | Conference Name: | Optical Design and Engineering II | Conference Place: | Jena, Germany | Conference Date: | 12-16 September 2005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34732 | URL: | https://lens.org/015-574-125-914-349 https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-proceedings-of-spie/5962/1/VST-optomechanical-technical-specifications-versus-error-budget/10.1117/12.624617.short |
