How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17661694 — 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: Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics Context triple: [SCExAO, fullName, Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics]
-
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.
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.
-
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.
Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph
The Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) is a space-based solar coronagraph instrument that images the Sun’s outer atmosphere to study coronal mass ejections and other solar phenomena.
-
E.
Metis coronagraph
Metis coronagraph is a specialized telescope instrument designed to block the Sun’s bright disk so it can image and study the faint outer solar corona in visible and ultraviolet light.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
