Sydney Uni’s new AI-enabled sensor to aid in search for new planets – iTnews
Improving ground-based telescopes.
Scientists at the University of Sydney have developed a new type of sensor that counteracts the twinkle of stars, making it easier to observe planets that may be orbiting them.
The new ‘photonic wavefront sensor’ was developed by a team at the university’s School of Physics to measure the exact amount of distortion caused by Earth’s atmosphere so it can be corrected by a telescope’s optics systems thousands of times a second.
