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

Make the Thirty-Meter Telescope aperture.

The aperture is based on the description from https://www.tmt.org/page/optics. The size of the secondary and the spiders were derived from Figure 5 of [JensenClem2021]

Parameters:
normalizedboolean

If this is True, the outer diameter will be scaled to 1. Otherwise, the diameter of the pupil will be 30.0 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 TMT aperture.

tmt_segmentslist of Field generators

The segments. Only returned when return_segments is True.
