GROUND-BASED GAMMA-RAY ASTRONOMY [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2005
Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (the measurement of γ above 10 GeV) is a rather young but fast evolving field. In the past 16 years some 20 sources have been discovered, about half of them are firmly established and seen with high significance by more than one experiment.

Uncooled microbolometer arrays for ground-based astronomy [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
ABSTRACT We describe the design and commissioning of a simple prototype, low-cost 10 μm imaging instrument. The system is built using commercially available components including an uncooled microbolometer array as a detector. The incorporation of adjustable germanium reimaging optics rescale the image to the appropriate plate scale for ...
