Project of the Large Solar Telescope with mirror 3 m in diameter
One of the most important problems of modern solar physics is the observation of the small-scale structure of the solar atmosphere at various heights (including the chromosphere and corona) in different spectral lines.

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 ...

TALON - The Telescope Alert Operation Network System: Intelligent Linking of Distributed Autonomous Robotic Telescopes [PDF]
The internet has brought about great change in the astronomical community, but this interconnectivity is just starting to be exploited for use in instrumentation. Utilizing the internet for communicating between distributed astronomical systems is still in its infancy, but it already shows great potential.

Scientific impact of large telescopes [PDF]
The scientific impacts of telescopes worldwide have been compared on the basis of their contributions to (a) the 1000 most-cited astronomy papers published 1991-8 (125 from each year), and (b) the 452 astronomy papers published in Nature 1989-98.

Lattice models and super telescoping formula [PDF]
In this paper, we introduce the super telescoping formula, a natural generalization of well-known telescoping formula. We explore various aspects of the formula including its origin and the telescoping cancellations emerging from symmetric patterns. We also show that the super telescoping formula leads to the construction of exactly solvable lattice ...

Seeing-limited imaging sky surveys -- small vs. large telescopes [PDF]
(Abridged) Typically large telescope construction and operation costs scale up faster than their collecting area. This slows scientific progress, making it expensive and complicated to increase telescope size. A metric that represents the capability of an imaging survey telescopes, and that captures a wide range of science objectives, is the telescope ...

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 ...
