Astro-TipTop Applications

Astro-TipTop Services brings together the different scientific and operational applications built around the TipTop analytical framework. While all these applications rely on the same Fourier-based AO PSF model, they target different stages of the observational workflow.

Select the application you would like to explore:

🔭 AO PSF Simulation

The core functionality of TipTop. Compute long-exposure AO PSFs and performance metrics (Strehl ratio, FWHM, encircled energy, etc.) for a broad range of AO systems and observing conditions.

⭐ Asterism Selection

Explore and rank guide-star configurations for SCAO, LTAO and MCAO systems using analytical AO performance predictions.

📐 Click & Fit (coming soon)

Calibrate the analytical PSF model directly from science observations when suitable stars are available in the field.

🔁 PSF Reconstruction (coming soon)

Recover the PSF associated with an observation using a compact analytical model and observational constraints.
