Holographic diffuser for future applications in astronomical instrumentation

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
Volume Holographic Optical Elements (VHOEs) are specialized components that use recorded interference pat terns to shape light wavefronts and they could find applications in modern astronomical instruments where conventional optics cannot easily handle ...

NewAthena WFI: ECSS qualified onboard software production methodology for astronomical instrumentation

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
Currently, the main challenge for the qualification of onboard science software within the European space sector, is the stringent requirements imposed by the ECSS standard ECSS-E-ST-40C for critical software. These verification requirements are not only

Composite material evaluation at cryogenic temperatures for applications in space-based far-infrared astronomical instrumentation

Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2018
Over half of the light incident on the Earth from the Universe falls within the Far-Infrared (FIR) region of the spectrum. Due to the deleterious effects of the Earth's atmosphere and instrument self-emission, astronomical measurements in the FIR require

The Astronomical Instruments

2017
All too often the instruments and instrument makers are totally ignored in accounts of historical science, but they, too, played a major role in the study of asteroids. “Throughout the eighteenth century, instrument making continued to provide a route to status as a natural philosopher for its most elite practitioners.

Astronomical and Astrophysical Instruments

1991
Great scientific advances are often bound up with the invention or introduction of new kinds of instruments. The telescope, the clock, the photographic plate, photometer, spectrograph and finally the entire arsenal of modern electronics each signalizes an epoch of astronomical investigation.

The Myth of Astronomical Instrumentalism

1991
The central thesis of Paul Feyerabend’s paper “Realism and Instrumentalism” is that as well as general philosophical arguments for and against instrumentalism, there are specific scientific arguments in favor of the instrumentalist view. These scientific arguments have the following general form: a new theory realistically interpreted clashes with ...
