Weighing black holes using open-loop focus corrections for LGS-AO observations of galaxy nuclei at Gemini Observatory
We present observations of early-type galaxies with laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) obtained at Gemini North telescope using the NIFS integral field unit (IFU). We employ an innovative technique where the focus compensation due to the changing distance to the sodium layer is made 'ope...
