Abstract

For the first time in ground-based astronomy, diffraction-limited imaging through atmospheric turbulence has been achieved in real time by adaptive optics in the infrared wavelengths range. This paper presents the first results and a short analysis, which demonstrate the considerable gain in resolution and sensitivity by the application of this technique. Single stars, close binary stars, and a satellite have been resolved. In one cases an other star several arcsecond apart has been used as reference for the wavefront sensing.
