How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18314860 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Keck II adaptive optics system Context triple: [NIRC2 camera, usesAdaptiveOptics, Keck II adaptive optics system]
-
A.
Altair adaptive optics system
The Altair adaptive optics system is a high-resolution imaging instrument at the Gemini North telescope that corrects for atmospheric distortion to produce sharper astronomical observations.
-
B.
Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics
Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO) is a high-contrast imaging instrument on the Subaru Telescope designed to directly observe and characterize exoplanets and circumstellar environments using advanced adaptive optics and coronagraphy.
-
C.
Shane Adaptive Optics system
The Shane Adaptive Optics system is a high-resolution imaging instrument on the Shane 3-meter telescope at Lick Observatory that uses adaptive optics to correct for atmospheric distortion in astronomical observations.
-
D.
GSAOI (Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager)
GSAOI (Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager) is a high-resolution near-infrared camera designed to work with adaptive optics on the Gemini South telescope, enabling extremely sharp imaging by correcting for atmospheric distortion.
-
E.
Lyot coronagraphs
Lyot coronagraphs are optical devices used in telescopes to block out the bright light of a star so that faint nearby objects, such as exoplanets or circumstellar disks, can be imaged.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
