Abstract

MagAO-X is a new "extreme"adaptive optics system for the Magellan Clay 6.5 m telescope which began commissioning in December, 2019. MagAO-X is based around a 2040 actuator deformable mirror, controlled by a pyramid wavefront sensor operating at up to 3.6 kHz. When fully optimized, MagAO-X will deliver high Strehls (< 70%), high resolution (19 mas), and high contrast (< 1 × 10-4) at Ha (656 nm). We present a brief review of the instrument design and operations, and then report on the results of the first-light run.
