Overview

Simulating PSF with TipTop

Welcome to the section dedicated to using TipTop for AO PSF simulation. Astro-TipTop provides tutorials and practical tools to support you in using the TipTop algorithm and guide you through AO PSF prediction for all existing adaptive optics observing modes (Single-Conjugate-AO, Laser-Tomographic-AO, Multi-Conjugate-AO, Ground-Layer-AO) and under any atmospheric conditions.

Here, you’ll find all the resources you need to:

• 🏃‍➡️ Get started quickly with TipTop,

• 🚀 Configure your launch scripts and display the results,

• 🔭 Set up TipTop depending on the type of AO system you want to simulate

• 🔎 Adapt your input files to available AO instruments and explore examples,

• 💻 Generate input files with interactive tools,

• 🧑‍💻 Additional scripts and tools for extended functionality,

• 💡 Understand the structure and parameters of the input files

Whether you're just getting started or already experienced, these resources will help you make the most of TipTop.
