SPICA—A Large Cryogenic Infrared Space Telescope: Unveiling the Obscured Universe [PDF]

open access: yesPublications Astronomical Society of Australia, 2018
Measurements in the infrared wavelength domain allow direct assessment of the physical state and energy balance of cool matter in space, enabling the detailed study of the processes that govern the formation and evolution of stars and planetary systems ...

A Reverse-Design Strategy for the Track Error of the Qi Tai Telescope Based on Pointing Accuracy

open access: yesEngineering, 2022
The Qi Tai Telescope (QTT), which has a 110 m aperture, is planned to be the largest scale steerable telescope in the world. Ideally, the telescope’s repeated pointing accuracy error should be less than 2.5 arc seconds (arcsec); thus, the telescope ...

The large size telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2014
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project aims to implement the world’s largest next generation of Very High Energy gamma-ray Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes devoted to the observation from a few tens of GeV to more than 100 TeV. To view the whole sky, two CTA sites are foreseen, one for each hemisphere.

Retracted: Can the chemical industry solve the climate change?On the role of human energy production, renewable energies, and the potential of chemistry as a solution provider

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView., 2023
Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

The Large Magellanic Cloud with the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a spiral galaxy, satellite of the Milky way with a high star formation activity. It represents a unique laboratory for studying an extended and spatially resolved star-forming galaxy through gamma-ray observatories ...

The Search for Spatial Extension in High-latitude Sources Detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2018
We present a search for spatial extension in high-latitude ( ) sources in recent Fermi point source catalogs. The result is the Fermi High-Latitude Extended Sources Catalog, which provides source extensions (or upper limits thereof) and likelihood ...

A Framework for Telescope Schedulers: With Applications to the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2018
How ground-based telescopes schedule their observations in response to different variables can significantly impact their efficiency. Namely, competing science priorities and constraints, variations in the weather, and the visibility of a particular part
