Wavelength-Dependent Seeing Systematically Changes the Normalized Slope of Telescopic Reflectance Spectra of Mercury

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Telescopic observations of Mercury consistently report systematic variations of the normalized spectral slope of visible-to-near-infrared reflectance spectra.

Plans for a 10-m Submillimeter-wave Telescope at the South Pole [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A 10 meter diameter submillimeter-wave telescope has been proposed for the NSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Current evidence indicates that the South Pole is the best submillimeter-wave telescope site among all existing or proposed ground-based ...

Discrete Time Dynamic Model for Telescope Auto-Guiding System [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2007
In the auto-guiding system for obtaining a long exposure astrophotography, CCD camera is usually used for measuring guide errors which are affected by optical dispersion and mechanical disturbances.

Freeform Wide Field-of-View Spaceborne Imaging Telescope: From Design to Demonstrator

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Wide field-of-view imaging optics offer a huge potential for space-based Earth observation enabling the capture of global data. Reflective imaging telescopes are often favored, as they do not show chromatic aberrations and are less susceptible to ...

Atmospheric Conditions within Big Telescope Alt-Azimuthal Region and Possibilities of Astronomical Observations

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The paper presents the results of analysis of astroclimatic conditions in the Big Telescope Alt-azimuthal (BTA) region (40°N–50°N; 35°E–55°E). Using data from the European center for medium-range weather forecast ReAnalysis (ERA-5), we estimated the ...

Hexapod Design For All-Sky Sidereal Tracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we describe a hexapod-based telescope mount system intended to provide sidereal tracking for the Fly's Eye Camera project -- an upcoming moderate, 21"/pixel resolution all-sky survey. By exploiting such a kind of meter-sized telescope mount,

Active optics in astronomy – modeling of deformable substrates: freeform surfaces for FIREBall and MESSIER

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2018
Active optics techniques on large telescopes and astronomical instrumentations provide high imaging quality. For ground-based astronomy, the co-addition of adaptive optics again increases angular resolution up to providing diffraction-limited imaging at ...
