Primary mirror figure maintenance of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope using the Segment Alignment Maintenance System
John M. Rakoczy,Drew Hall,Richard T. Howard,William Ly,John T. Weir,Edward E. Montgomery,Mark T. Adams,John A. Booth,James R. Fowler,Gregory H. Ames +9 more
TL;DR: A functional description of the SAMS control system is given and performance verification data is presented that shows the edge sensor system and GRoC estimator are able to maintain HET's primary figure for longer durations than previously had been observed.

Hobby-Eberly Telescope segment alignment maintenance system
Mark T. Adams,Povilas Palunas,John A. Booth,James R. Fowler,Marsha J. Wolf,Gregory H. Ames,John M. Rakoczy,Edward E. Montgomery +7 more
TL;DR: The SAMS system has operated almost nightly, improving HET's overall operational capability and image quality performance and has not yet, however, demonstrated performance at the specified levels for tip, tilt, piston and Global Radius of Curvature (GRoC) maintenance.
