Abstract:

Abstract. The stellar light passed through the Earth atmosphere is affected by refractive effects, which should be taken into account in retrievals from stellar occultation measurements. Scintillation caused by air density irregularities is a nuisance for retrievals of atmospheric composition. In this paper, we consider the influence of scintillation on stellar occultation measurements and on quality of ozone retrievals from these measurements, based on experience of the GOMOS (Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars) instrument on board the Envisat satellite. In the GOMOS retrievals,

Abstract:

The twinkling of stars is a familiar example of scintillations, due to turbulence in the Earth’s atmosphere causing fluctuations in the refractive index of the air along the line of sight. Scintillations lead to time variations in the apparent position of the source, and hence to an angular broadening on integration over an observation time. Scintillations also lead to fluctuations in the intensity of the source. Pointlike astronomical radio sources such as pulsars and (the compact cores of some) quasars scintillate due to fluctuations in the electron density along the line of sight through th

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Ground-based photometry of bright stars is expected to be limited by atmospheric scintillation, although in practice observations are often limited by other sources of systematic noise. We analyse 122 nights of bright star (Gmag ≲ 11.5) photometry using the 20-cm telescopes of the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile. We compare the noise properties to theoretical noise models and we demonstrate that NGTS photometry of bright stars is indeed limited by atmospheric scintillation. We determine a median scintillation coefficient at the Paranal Observa

Abstract:

Indigenous peoples across the world observe the motions and positions of stars to develop seasonal calendars. Changing properties of stars, such as their brightness and colour, are also used for predicting weather. Combining archival studies with ethnographic fieldwork in Australia’s Torres Strait, we explore the various ways Indigenous peoples utilise stellar scintillation (twinkling) as an indicator for predicting weather and seasonal change, and examine the Indigenous and Western scientific underpinnings of this knowledge. By observing subtle changes in the ways the stars twinkle, Meriam pe

AbstractStellar intensity scintillation on short and very short time scales (≃ 100 ms - 100 ns) was studied using an optical telescope on La Palma (Canary Islands). Photon counting detectors and real-time signal processing equipment were used to study atmospheric scintillation as function of telescope aperture size, degree of apodization, for single and double apertures, in different optical colors, at different zenith distances, times of night, and seasons of year. The statistics of temporal intensity variations can be adequately described by log-normal distributions, varying with time. The s

Abstract:

The GlueX experiment aims to study meson photoproduction while utilizing the coherent bremsstrahlung technique to produce a 9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam incident on a liquid $\mathrm{H_{2}}$ target. A Start Counter detector was fabricated to properly identify the accelerator electron beam buckets and to provide accurate timing information. The Start Counter detector was designed to operate at photon intensities of up to $\mathrm{10^{8}\gamma/s}$ in the coherent peak and provides a timing resolution $\mathrm{\sim 300\ ps}$ so as to provide successful identification of the electron beam

Abstract:

After a brief introduction describing some of the physics and mechanics of scintillation detection, results of the development for the Central Trigger Barrel (CTB) for STAR and the Start Counter for CLAS are discussed. For the CTB development, 1 cm x 20 cm x 100 cm scintillators were studied with light guides of various geometries and materials attached to one end in order to optimize the uniformity and overall gain. The best results were obtained using a 61$\sp\circ$ OP-1 light guide attached to a BC 408 scintillator. An alternate approach using a wavelength shifter produces much lower pulse

Abstract:

The chapter covers photodetectors for photons in the optical and near UV range (about 200 nm to 700 nm). Important for particle and astroparticle experiments are photodetectors which detect light generated in scintillation or Cherenkov detectors, for example. The detection of photons always starts with the generation of an electron by photoeffect at a photocathode. The photoelectron can then be either multiplied in a photomultiplier tube by secondary electron emission or the cathode could be the surface of a semiconductor detector; both techniques can also be combined in hybrid photodetectors. A relatively new semiconductor detector is the silicon photomultiplier using an avalanche operation mode to obtain sufficiently large signals. In the last section the different photodetectors are compared and are assigned to typical applications according to their properties.
