Beyond the Blur: Construction and Characterization of the First Autonomous AO System and an AO Survev of Magnetar Proper Motions

<p>Adaptive optics (AO) corrects distortions created by atmospheric turbulence and delivers diffraction-limited images on ground-based telescopes. The vastly improved spatial resolution and sensitivity has been utilized for studying everything from the magnetic fields of sunspots upto the inte...
