Laboratory calibration of the W.M. Keck Observatory Adaptive Optics Facility
TL;DR: The Keck AO system is nearing completion and is nearly ready for system integration in the optics laboratory at Keck Headquarters as mentioned in this paper. But, because of the ambitious scientific objectives of this project, the system is quite complex in design.

Julien Woillez,Julien Woillez,Peter Wizinowich,Rachel Akeson,M. Mark Colavita,Josh A. Eisner,Rafael Millan-Gabet,John D. Monnier,J.-U. Pott,S. Ragland +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the implementation of DFPR on the Keck Interferometer and detail its on-sky performance focusing on the accuracy of the turbulence correction and the resulting fringe contrast stability.

OHANA Phase III: scientific operation of an 800-meter Mauna Kea interferometer
Olivier Lai,Stephen T. Ridgway,Pierre Léna,Guy Perrin,Gregory Fahlman,Andrew J. Adamson,Alan T. Tokunaga,Jun Nishikawa,Peter Wizinowich,Francois Rigaut +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a collaborative consortium science, based on mutual allocation of facility access, and PI-driven access based on telescope access exchange between consortium members, with the most potentially successful mode of operation implying a community driven model, open to proposals from different time allocation comittees.
