The Large Binocular Telescope [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2008 The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) Observatory is a collaboration between institutions in Arizona, Germany, Italy, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio and Virginia. The telescope on Mt. Graham in southeastern Arizona uses two 8.4-meter diameter borosilicate honeycomb primary mirrors mounted side-by-side to produce a collecting area equivalent to an 11.8-meter

Cosmology and large telescopes
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1989Assuming a large collecting area, a good angular resolution and a large field of view expected for the Japanese National Large Telescope (JNLT), we demonstrate that JNLT will provide a useful means of studying cosmological objects of interest. Among them I discuss how cosmological parameters and evolutionary effects can be obtained from redshift ...

Telescope performance at the Large Binocular Telescope
SPIE Proceedings, 2016The Large Binocular Telescope Observatory is a collaboration between institutions in Arizona, Germany, Italy, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio and Virginia. The telescope uses two 8.4-m diameter primary mirrors mounted sideby- side on the same AZ-EL mount to produce a collecting area equivalent to an 11.8-meter aperture.

Adaptive optics for large telescopes
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1989The performance of large telescopes is determined both by their angular resolution and by their collection area. It is, therefore, important to achieve as high an angular resolution as possible by site selection, by avoiding image deterioration by the telescope and its environment, and by real time image restoration by adaptive optics. We summarize the

Observing with Large Telescopes [PDF]
, 2008 There are several comet observation projects which one can carry out with a large telescope (aperture larger than 0.30 m or 12 in.). For example, one can use a large telescope to record spectra of a comet, or to make polarization measurements of the coma.

Physics Today, 1976
The Large Space Telescope, which is scheduled to be put into orbit above the Earth's atmosphere by NASA in the early 1980s, is a large, multipurpose optical instrument that is being designed to provide an increase in observational capability of nearly 100× with respect to brightness, 10× in resolving power, and a substantial bandwidth improvement over ...

Large and Very Large Telescopes
2011The last three decades have seen almost exponential growth in the numbers of large and very large telescopes, with the unanticipated current situation that there are almost as many VLTs as there are 4 m-class telescopes. This growth in numbers has been curiosity-driven, but obviously technology-led.
