Tagging single muons and other long-flying relativistic charged particles by ultra-fast timing in air Cherenkov telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Atmospheric air Cherenkov telescopes are successfully used for ground-based, very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray astronomy. Triggers from the so-called single muon and other long-flying relativistic charged particle events are an unwanted background for the

Telescopes don't make catalogues! [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Astronomical instruments make intensity measurements; any precise astronomical experiment ought to involve modeling those measurements. People make catalogues, but because a catalogue requires hard decisions about calibration and detection, no catalogue ...

Analysis of ground-based differential imager performance

open access: yes, 2005
In the context of extrasolar planet direct detection, we evaluated the performance of differential imaging with ground-based telescopes. This study was carried out in the framework of the VLT-Planet Finder project and is further extended to the case of ...
