第一批基于Keck II自然导航星(NGS)和激光导航星(LGS)自适应光学(AO)系统数据的参考科学论文分别于2000年1月和2005年5月发表。截至2012年底，基于Keck NGS AO数据发表的被引用科学论文共有260篇，使用Keck LGS AO系统发表的论文有152篇。本文概述了Keck AO最初十几年的科学生产力，以及可以从这一经验中吸取的教训。还讨论了现有Keck AO系统的性能和局限性，以及目前正在进行的技术开发，以提高这些系统的科学覆盖范围。广泛的科学界对Keck AO能力的需求很高，随着新能力的增加，这个社区已经扩大，特别是LGS AO。
The first refereed science papers based on data with the Keck II natural guide star (NGS) and laser guide star (LGS) adaptive optics (AO) system were published in 2000 January and 2005 May, respectively. As of the end of 2012 a total of 260 refereed science papers have been published based on Keck NGS AO data and 152 with the Keck LGS AO system. This paper provides an overview of the first dozen years of scientific productivity with Keck AO and the lessons that can be drawn from this experience. The performance and limitations of the existing Keck AO systems are also discussed along with the technical developments currently underway to improve the scientific reach of these systems. The Keck AO capabilities are in high demand by a broad science community, a community that has expanded as new capabilities, especially LGS AO, have been added.
