Precision engineering for astronomy: historical origins and the future revolution in ground-based astronomy [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Abstract Since the dawn of civilization, the human race has pushed technology to the limit to study the heavens in ever-increasing detail. As astronomical instruments have evolved from those built by Tycho Brahe in the sixteenth century, through Galileo and Newton in the seventeenth, to the present day, astronomers have made ever more

Search for Sub-Solar Mass Binaries with Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer
Entropy, 2022 A possible detection of sub-solar mass ultra-compact objects would lead to new perspectives on the existence of black holes that are not of astrophysical origin and/or pertain to formation scenarios of exotic ultra-compact objects.

Future Developments in Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Astronomy
, 2023 Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is a powerful tool to study cosmic-ray physics, providing a diagnostic of the high-energy processes at work in the most extreme astrophysical accelerators of the universe. Ground-based gamma-ray detectors apply a number of experimental techniques to measure the products of air showers induced by the primary gamma-rays ...
