Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1961
Conventional methods can no longer satisfy many observational requirements in radio astronomy. New principles are being applied in a range of instruments designed for specific purposes; some of these are discussed and contrasted in this article, which is based on a lecture given at an Ordinary Meeting at Savoy Place on the 27th October 1960.

Extremely large telescopes at risk
Science, 2023Images of the cosmos from the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope have awed the public and astronomers alike. Until the Hubble, breakthroughs in astronomy came from big telescopes on mountain-top observatories—discoveries that include the expansion of the Universe and planets orbiting other stars.

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.

The UK Large Telescope project
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1989The current status and the organization of the UK Large Telescope programme are summarized. Some scientific and design issues are discussed on the basis of work done for the SERC Large Telescope Panel report. A national Phase A programme is now underway addressing more detailed aspects of these questions.

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.

The Large Millimeter-Wave Telescope
1997The Large Millimeter-wave Telescope (LMT) is a joint project of the United States and Mexico. The project goal is to construct and operate a 50m diameter millimeter-wave antenna. The antenna, shown schematically in Figure 1, will be built on a mountain site in Mexico and will have the highest gain and the highest overall sensitivity of any millimeter ...
