like the definition of r_0 is the diameter of a circular area over which the rms wavefront aberration due to passage through the atmosphere is equal to 1 radian but i am not sure to go about the conversion to seeing which is FWHM
<raptop>
Unsure, unfortunately
<WeylandsWings>
other places say r_0 is s the size of an imaginary telescope aperture for which the diffraction limited angular resolution is equal to the resolution limited by seeing.
<WeylandsWings>
like it seems like there should be a way to go back and dorth
<WeylandsWings>

<raptop>
There's some worrying stuff implied in diffraction limited seeing, how much light is in those outer rings / does it mess with the FWHM idea?
<raptop>
Or can you just go "the rayleigh criterion is good enough"?
<raptop>
...wait, I'm silly. wikiality gives how to get the FWHM

[wikipedia] Airy disk | "In optics, the Airy disk (or Airy disc) and Airy pattern are descriptions of the best-focused spot of light that a perfect lens with a circular aperture can make, limited by the diffraction of light. The Airy disk is of importance in physics, optics, and astronomy.The diffraction pattern resulting from a uniformly illuminated, circular aperture has a bright central region, known as the Airy disk, which […]"

!8ball Learn how to do surgery from a colorless fermion?
<galois>
raptop: yes
* raptop
was joking! D:
<raptop>
!choose the research group should have a wiki|this would just cause more computer administration problems
<galois>
raptop: Your options: the research group should have a wiki, this would just cause more computer administration problems. My choice: this would just cause more computer administration problems
<SnoopJ>
heh
<whitequark>
raptop: i do not know how to do surgery
<whitequark>
i have good friends tho
<raptop>
ah
<raptop>
Right, just things like an emergency root canal
<whitequark>
yeah?
<whitequark>
i still don't understand what about it impresses people so much
<raptop>
hrm, probably something about having a bit of a different relationship with your body
