• Adaptive optics • Interferometry • Wavefront propagation • Atmospheric turbulence |
• Polarimetry and applications to • Astronomy • Communications |
The Magdalena Ridge Observatory (MRO), is a dedicated astronomical observatory that will utilize a large optical interferometer and a 2.4m single telescope. It is the prime optical research site at New Mexico Tech, and makes available a world class facility for scientific research in optics, optical controls, and astronomical science applications. As well, students can have access to commercial telescopes and imaging cameras at the Etscorn Observatory on the New Mexico Tech campus.
