Implementation of safety functions through dedicated PLC modules for astronomical ground-based instrumentation

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
Ground-based astronomy requires the implementation of growingly bigger, and thus more complex, instrumentation. A fitting example is represented by the instruments that are being developed for the ESO Extremely Large Telescope, as they pose new ...

The concurrent design strategy for astronomical instrumentation: first outcomes and future developments

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
The concurrent design methodology has been successfully implemented in many fields, especially for space applications, for which a robust standard has been developed during the years and tested on several projects, with the European Space Agency at the ...

Ion beam sputtered broadband dielectric coatings for large-format mirrors for advanced astronomical instrumentation

Optical Systems Design
High optical efficiency is a central requirement in modern astronomical instrumentation, because every reflection loss reduces photon throughput and increases the observing time required to reach a given signal-to-noise ratio.

Terahertz astronomical telescopes and instrumentation

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2003
The terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum is of great importance for astrophysics. In fact, it is central to the whole field of experimental cosmology. This paper outlines the range of astrophysical problems that can be answered by observing at THz frequencies, describes some of the major THz astronomical telescopes that are being ...
