BAMM! An improved warping solver for segmented mirrors
Abstract
Presented in this paper is the latest technique developed at the W.M. Keck Observatory for calculating the optimal warping solution for unwarped segments in the telescopes called BAMM!. The new technique is used to improve the warping solution for challenging segments with a reduction in the segment warping forces. This solver has been in operation for the last 3 years.
