- hcipy.aperture.make_gmt_aperture(normalized=False, with_spiders=True, return_segments=False)
Make the Giant Magellan Telescope aperture.
The primary mirror parameters come from the GMT Observatory Architecture Documentation (GMT-REQ-03215, Rev. F): https://www.gmto.org/resources/slpdr/ . Small corrections have been applied to match to the actual pupil from internal GMTO files.
- Parameters
- normalizedboolean
If this is True, the outer diameter will be scaled to 1. Otherwise, the diameter of the pupil will be 25.448 meters.
- with_spidersboolean
If this is False, the spiders will be left out. Default: True.
- return_segmentsboolean
If this is True, the segments will also be returned as a list of Field generators.
- Returns
- Field generator
The GMT aperture.
- elt_segmentslist of Field generators
The segments. Only returned when return_segments is True.
