Temporal Variations of the Turbulence Profiles at the Sayan Solar Observatory Site
The paper focuses on the development of the method to estimate the mean characteristics of the atmospheric turbulence. Using an approach based on the shape of the energy spectrum of atmospheric turbulence over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales,

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

To Telescope or Not To Telescope?
With the rapidly growing number of Internet-accessible and Internet-controlled research-grade telescopes becoming available, astronomy educators are rushing to create authentic research-programs for students that leverage these new resources. To date, the most successful programs are those that focus on upper-level science-focused students or highly ...
