Cherenkov Telescopes as Optical Telescopes for Bright Sources: Today's Specialised Thirty Metre Telescopes? [PDF]

, 2011
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) use large-aperture (~ 10 - 30 m) optical telescopes with arcminute angular resolution to detect TeV gamma-rays in the atmosphere.

The Challenge to Large Optical Telescopes from X-ray Astronomy [PDF]

, 2002
In the ROSAT era of the mid-1990's, the problems facing deep X-ray surveys could be largely solved with 10 m class telescopes. In the first decade of this new millennium, with X-ray telescopes such as the Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton in ...

The burst observer and optical transient exploring system in the multi-messenger astronomy era

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES) was first designed as an asset of autonomous telescopes that started to be deployed in 1998, taking 24 years to be fully developed around the earth.

Prospects of SETI by small size optical telescopes [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022
In the present manuscript we consider the possibility of conducting SETI with small-size (with diameters less than 1 m) optical telescopes. Calculations are performed for typical parameters of the mentioned type of telescopes. In particular, we show that

Optics for Nano-Satellite X-Ray Monitor

Open Astronomy, 2015
The Schmidt lobster eye design for a grazing incidence X-ray optics provides a field of view of the order of many degrees, for this reason it can be a convenient approach for the construction of space X-ray monitors.
