Adaptive optics (AO) corrects distortions created by atmospheric
turbulence and delivers diffraction-limited images on ground-based
telescopes. The vastly improved spatial resolution and sensitivity
has been utilized for studying everything from the magnetic fields
of sunspots upto the internal dynamics of high-redshift galaxies.
This thesis about AO science from small and large telescopes is
divided into two parts: Robo-AO and magnetar kinematics. In the
first part, I discuss the construction and performance of the
world's first fully autonomous visible light AO system, Robo-AO, at
the Palomar 60-inch telescope. Robo-AO operates extremely
efficiently with an overhead
