make_vlti_dopd_map

hcipy.aperture.make_vlti_dopd_map(zenith_angle=0, azimuth=0, with_spiders=True, return_segments=False)

Make the VLTI differential OPD map for interferometry.

The position of each VLT is taken from the VLTI user manual: VLT-MAN-ESO-15000-4552.

Parameters:
zenith_anglescalar

The zenith angle component of the pointing direction.

azimuthscalar

The azimuth component of the pointing direction. Defined from north to east.

with_spidersboolean

Include the secondary mirror support structure in the aperture.

return_segmentsboolean

If this is True, the segments will also be returned as a ModeBasis.

Returns:
Field generator

The full VLTI dOPD map.

segmentslist of Field generators

The individual dOPD maps for each telescope. Only returned when return_segments is True.
