A. Martínez M. N´Diaye L. Sánchez Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas INSTRUMENTATION: ADAPTIVE OPTICS We describe progress in the construction of an adaptive optics system for the 2.1-meter telescope of the ObservatorioAstronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir. The system will use a 19 element bimorph deformablemirror mounted on an articulated platform and a curvature wavefront sensor with natural guide stars. Guieloawill have two modes of operation. In adaptive optics mode, the system is expected to give excellent correctionabove 1.0 m and good correction down to 0.6{0.9 m, depending on the seeing, although the sky coveragewill be limited. In \active optics and fast guiding mode", the system should give images at or better than thenatural seeing of the site and have much greater sky coverage. The system is currently undergoing laboratorytesting and should be commissioned in 2009 2007 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57102813 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.28
