Presentations

• Whitsitt, R., Martin, H. M., & Loeff, A. (2021, June). Using motor current to monitor large mirror polishing in real time. OSA Optical Design and Fabrication 2021. virtual: Optical Society of America.
  More info

  Measurement of the motor current used to drive orbital lap motion allows monitoring of the interfacial drag force during polishing of the 8.4 m off-axis segments of the Giant Magellan Telescope’s primary mirror.

• Martin, H. M. (2019, September). Final Report on GMT Primary Mirror Segment 2. Steward Observatory document, submitted to GMTO.
• Martin, H. M. (2017, February). Lap shape sensitivity.
  More info

  Report gives sensitivity of shape errors in stressed lap to most sources of error, including measurement of all coordinates on the LPM, displacement of GMT segment from nominal position, and displacements of sensors used to measure lap shape changes. PowerPoint format for best illustration of the effects as well as their magnitudes.
• Martin, H. M. (2017, January). Determination of LPM, stressed lap and mirror coordinates.
  More info

  Procedure for using laser tracker to define coordinate systems for the LPM, stressed lap (on east side of LPM), and GMT segment. Following this procedure leads to accurate alignment of the three objects in all necessary degrees of freedom. A companion procedure (also attached) does the same for the orbital polisher mounted on the west side of the LPM.
• Martin, H. M. (2017, January). Revised figure specification for GMT segments.
  More info

  Proposed revision to figure specification for GMT primary mirror segments, based on discussions with Steward Observatory and GMTO staff. Report includes demonstration that the proposed specification can be met with acceptable effort and that it guarantees acceptable performance in the telescope.
• Martin, H. M. (2017, July). Lifter calibration and control.
  More info

  Report lays out relations and algorithm for calibration and control of stressed lap actuators that determine polishing force (pressure) and moments (pressure gradients). It serves to guide the engineers who develop the software for these operations.
• Martin, H. M., West, S., Tuell, M., & Allen, R. (2017, September). Reference Tests of GMT Segment 1.
  More info

  Report on validation of test systems for GMT off-axis segments, based on re-measurement of GMT Segment 1 in 2017. Report demonstrates that all measurements meet requirements for agreement with acceptance measurements in 2012, and with one another.
