Modified Method to Detect the Turbulent Layers in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer for the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
A method to detect the atmospheric turbulent layers using a single Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor is discussed. In order to determine the height distribution of the atmospheric turbulence above a telescope, we register the wavefront distortions at ...

The Swift X-Ray Telescope [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Optics + Photonics, 1999
he Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer is designed to make prompt multiwavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and GRB afterglows. The X-ray telescope (XRT) enables Swift to determine GRB positions with a few arcseconds accuracy within 100 s of the burst

Project of the Large Solar Telescope with mirror 3 m in diameter

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
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.

The MAGIC telescope [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics — PoS(HEP2005), 2007
MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope) is presently the largest ground-based gamma ray telescope. MAGIC has been taking data regularly since October 2004 at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma. In this paper the MAGIC telescope status, its performances and some preliminary results on observed gamma ray ...

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. II. Array and Instrumentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that comprises millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength telescopes separated by distances comparable to the diameter of the Earth. At a nominal operating wavelength of ~

To Telescope or Not To Telescope?

open access: yesRobotic Telescopes, Student Research and Education Proceedings, Vol 1, No 1, 2018
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 ...

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.

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,

Software design for the control system for Small-Size Telescopes with single-mirror of the Cherenkov Telescope Array

open access: yes, 2015
The Small-Size Telescope with single-mirror (SST-1M) is a 4 m Davies-Cotton telescope and is among the proposed telescope designs for the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). It is conceived to provide the high-energy ($>$ few TeV) coverage.
