Abstract

Wide Field Adaptive Optics (WFAO) systems play a pivotal role in enhancing the imaging and spectroscopic capabilities of astronomical telescopes. In the context of MCAO, with MAVIS (Multi-conjugate Adaptive Optics Assisted Visible Imager and Spectrograph) as a representative example, the careful selection of an appropriate NGS (Natural Guide Star) asterism, consisting of natural guide stars within the instrument's field of view, is crucial. Here we present our solution to the problem, which was developed as an addition to the TIPTOP simulation framework. Since our goal is to provide astronomers an effective tool for observation planning, we did focus on the performance of our implementation, which greatly benefits from GPU availability, to compute the result within seconds.
