We propose an alternative method to generate an artificial reference source for a Ground Layer Adaptive Optics system airborne on a Multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Turbulence profiles from the Ground Layer at the National Astronomical Observatory in San Pedro Martir were analyzed to establish the requirements in luminosity, altitude, and flight stability of an artificial source. We found the source must be at least 800 m above the observatory's surface and follow a fixed trajectory to emulate the apparent movement of the stars with a stability of 1.54 cm in time intervals smaller than 18 ms. We establish some commercial and customized MUAVs can nearly accomplish this task.

将 MUAV 实现为 GLAO 系统的参考源

我们提出了一种替代方法来为多旋翼无人机上机载的地面层自适应光学系统生成人工参考源。分析了圣佩德罗·马蒂尔国家天文台地面层的湍流剖面，以确定人造光源的光度、高度和飞行稳定性要求。我们发现源必须在天文台表面上方至少 800 m 处，并遵循固定轨迹以模拟恒星在小于 18 ms 的时间间隔内具有 1.54 cm 稳定性的视在运动。我们建立的一些商业化和定制化的 MUAV 几乎可以完成这个任务。
