Adaptive optics correction of the wavefront distortions induced by segments misalignment in extremely large telescope [PDF]
The capability of the adaptive optics to correct for the segmentation error is analyzed in terms of the residual wavefront RMS and the power spectral density of the phase.

Sky coverage modeling for the whole sky for laser guide star multiconjugate adaptive optics [PDF]
The scientific productivity of laser guide star adaptive optics systems strongly depends on the sky coverage, which describes the probability of finding natural guide stars for the tip/tilt wavefront sensor(s) to achieve a certain performance.
