hcipy.aperture.make_elt_aperture(normalized=False, with_spiders=True, segment_transmissions=1, return_segments=False)

Make the European Extremely Large Telescope aperture.

This aperture is based on Figure 3.66 that describes the pupil in the E-ELT Construction Proposal:

https://www.eso.org/sci/facilities/eelt/docs/index.html .

Parameters:
normalizedboolean

If this is True, the outer diameter will be scaled to 1. Otherwise, the diameter of the pupil will be 39.14634 meters.

with_spidersboolean

If this is False, the spiders will be left out. Default: True.

segment_transmissionsscalar or array_like

The transmission for each of the segments. If this is a scalar, this transmission will be used for all segments.

return_segmentsboolean

If this is True, the segments will also be returned as a list of Field generators.

Returns:
Field generator

The E-ELT aperture.

elt_segmentslist of Field generators

The segments. Only returned when return_segments is True.
