Abstract:
General arguments for optimized coronagraphy in the search for planets are presented. First, off-axis telescopes provide the best telescopic platforms for use with coronagraphy, and telescope fabrication technology now allows the fabrication of such telescopes with diameters of up to 6.5 m. We show that in certain circumstances a smaller telescope with an off-axis primary has a signal-to-noise advantage compared with larger Cassegrain telescopes. Second, to fully exploit the advantages of the coronagraph for suppressing stray light, it is necessary to use a high Strehl ratio adaptive optics sy

Abstract High-resolution beam telescopes for charged particle tracking are one of the most important and equally demanding infrastructure items at test beam facilities. The main purpose of beam telescopes is to provide precise reference track information of beam particles to measure the performance of a device under test (DUT). In this report the development of the ADENIUM beam telescope (ALPIDE sensor based DESY Next test beam Instrument) as a demonstrator and prototype for a next-generation beam telescope is presented.

In the field of astrophysics and cosmology, astronomical telescopes are the main and key tool for observing and capturing information of celestial bodies. Generally, there are two types of telescopes, i.e., terrestrial telescopes and space telescopes. This study will be mainly focused on the differences and similarities between the two types mentioned above. According to the analysis, the ground telescope is larger and collect data with processing instead of real picture. The space telescope, on the other hand, is smaller but hard to repair, which is able to send back the real pictures of the

There is a constant need for higher resolution observations across a wide range of wavelengths, at preferably a minimal cost.

Under the right circumstances, multiple images of the lensed supernovae can be observed, and due to the variable nature of the objects, the difference between the arrival times of the images can be measured.

Abstract:
The incorporation of adaptive optics in large astronomical telescopes to provide diffraction limited imaging promises to revolutionize ground based optical astronomy in the next decade. The gains are especially impressive for large aperture telescopes where the large increase in diameter D results both in a decrease of the area of the telescope point spread function proportional to D2 and in an increase in collected photons within that smaller area of D2. The availability of adaptive optics will thus pay off handsomely in many astronomical uses of large telescopes.

The SERTS-A and SERTS-C solar telescopes are examples of Wolter Type II glancing incidence telescopes built for flight1,2 on sounding rockets to study active regions on the sun in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength range 24-45 nm. Improvements in computer-controlled polishing technology at GSFC have led to the SERTS-C telescope which has substantially improved throughput and angular resolution in that wavelength range over the earlier SERTS-A. While both telescopes are diffraction-limited in the visible, preventing an obvious selection of the better telescope for flight, laboratory results in
