Characterization of the atmosphere vertical distribution from short-exposures images

Résumé

We present PEPITO as a new low-cost and low-complexity concept for profiling the vertical distribution of atmospheric turbulence. PEPITO utilizes post facto tip-tilt (TT) corrected short-exposure images to reproduce the anisokinetism effect and then produces the profile estimation using a model-fitting algorithm. We present in this proceedings the methodology we use to estimate the profile and simulation results, that show that PEPITO can reach potentially 1% of accuracy on a 0.5 m telescope by using 5 stars of magnitude mV=15 mag and distributed over a field of 10, arcmin. We present the sensitivity of PEPITO as well as a sky coverage analysis.
