Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1996This report covers developments in the field of gamma-ray astronomy, essentially in the energy range 300 GeV to 300 TeV, reported at the XXIV International Cosmic-Ray Conference in Rome in 1995. Highlights which receive the main attention are the failure of several experiments to detect TeV photons from several supernova remnants at the level predicted

Ground based low light astronomy
Contemporary Physics, 1977Abstract Astronomy can be traced beck at least to the heyday of Egyptian pyramid building. It was practised mostly as the art and science of position and movement until in 1852, the introduction of the collodion plate developed from Louis Daguerre's earlier work, prompted the first stellar photograph. By 1884. William Huggins had added the spectroscope

Ground-Based Infrared Astronomy
1994In this paper, I discuss ground-based infrared astronomy with emphasis on observations made during the last decade. I cover several topics including: 1) What makes a ground-based infrared telescope, 2) Coments on ground vs. space for infrared observations, 3) The science that has come from ground-based telescopes: star and planet formation, companions ...

GLAST and Ground-based γ-ray astronomy
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007The launch of the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) in 2007 will open the possibility of combined studies of astrophysical sources with existing ground-based VHE {gamma}-ray experiments such as H.E.S.S., VERITAS and MAGIC. Ground-based {gamma}-ray observatories provide complementary capabilities for spectral, temporal, spatial and population

International Cooperation in Ground-Based Astronomy
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1997The UN/ESA workshops aim to foster the development of basic space science in developing countries. It is argued that the involvement of these countries in international collaborations in ground-based astronomy is an effective method of achieving this aim.

Status of ground-based gamma ray astronomy
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005The status of experimental TeV gamma ray astronomy is summarized, with emphasis on the newer results, which include the first image of a supernova shell with resolved morphology and the detection of the Galactic Centre region as a TeV source. A puzzle remains that a number of seemingly established southern TeV sources could not be confirmed in recent ...

Systems engineering in ground-based astronomy
SPIE Proceedings, 2004Systems engineering has become a commonly practiced discipline in many ground-based telescope projects over the last decade. Invented by the large defense and aerospace companies decades ago, space astronomy projects have long embraced systems engineering.

Astronomy: Ground-based guide to star systems
2021In this chapter, we will explore the use of high-powered lasers in astronomy, specifically when used for the creation of “artificial stars” used as reference beacons to compensate for the distortions created by the atmosphere, through a technique known as “adaptive optics.” The fundamentals of the technique and the history of how lasers came to be used

Infrared Fourier spectrometer for airborne and ground-based astronomy
Applied Optics, 1980A unique high resolving power near-infrared, astronomical Fourier spectrometer has been constructed foruse at both ground-based and airborne telescopes. Its capabilities include a limiting resolution of 0.01 cm(-1) and spectral coverage over the InSb detector sensitivity region (0.8-5.6 microm). The instrument is optimized for operation in environments

Large Adaptive Secondary Mirrors for Ground-based Astronomy
Imaging and Applied Optics Congress, 2020TNO and industrial partners are developing a new type of Adaptive Secondaty Mirror (ASM) technology enabling affordable and reliable ASMs for the world’s larger telescopes as well as the telescopes in the 2-4 meter class. To demonstrate this technology, an ASM is being developed for the University of Hawaii’s 2.2-meter telescope.
