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

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]
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]
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]
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
