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. The ADENIUM beam telescope features up to six pixelated reference planes

Abstract:

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

AbstractOver the past few years, site-testing at the South Pole has revealed conditions that are uniquely favourable for infrared astronomy. In particular, the exceptionally low sky brightness throughout the near and mid-infrared leads to the possibility of a modest-sized telescope achieving comparable sensitivity to that of existing 8–10 metre class telescopes. An 8 metre Antarctic telescope, if constructed, would yield performance that would be unrivalled until the advent of the NGST.

Radio, sub-millimeter and millimeter ground-based telescopes are powerful instruments for studying the gas and dust-rich regions of the Universe that are invisible at optical wavelengths, but the pointing accuracy is crucial for obtaining high-quality data. Pointing errors are small deviations of the telescope’s orientation from its desired direction. The telescopes use linear regression pointing models to correct for these errors, taking into account various factors such as weather conditions, telescope mechanical structure, and the target’s position in the sky.

Abstract:

With the rapid development of the technique for optics engineering, the telescope has developed rapidly with great performances (i.e., higher resolution), which exhibits great potential in cosmology detection. On this basis, this paper compares and demonstrates the basic principle as well as the state-of-art applications and observations of two typical telescopes, i.e., the Arecibo and Fast. According to the analysis, the later constructed FAST largely expands the searching parameters which offer a path for higher signal-noise ratio. However, it should be noted that ground-based telescopes do

Abstract:

AbstractThe proposed FAST project is a novel giant spherical radio telescope, with active elements which form a temporary paraboloid to track radio objects in the sky. Efforts have been made to extend the limited sky coverage that is a characteristic disadvantage of Arecibo-style radio telescopes. Three measures under investigation are introduced in this paper. The expected performance of the telescope is described, and a brief comparison is made with some of the largest existing radio telescopes.

In the realm of astronomical scientific exploration, deployable and scalable approaches in space telescope systems are reshaping our understanding of the universe. Two revolutionary membrane-based space telescope designs, on-axis OASIS (Orbiting Astronomical Satellite for Investigating Stellar Systems) and off-axis SALTUS (Single Aperture Large Telescope for Universe Studies), have been developed as mid/far-infrared telescope concepts featuring an inflatable primary mirror. Through the scalable primary aperture design, these deployable space telescopes leverage an all-encompassing optical arch

Abstract Cost optimization is a common problem encountered in the design of telescopes. This paper comprehensively discusses various radio telescope designs worldwide, focusing on their design and utilities. It contextualizes the Pulsar data challenge and subsequently discusses and develops a mathematical model for designing radio telescopes. The model assumes a fixed-cost budget. This paper expands current ideas of modeling the system using figure-of-merit equations and optimizing them based on a fixed budget to obtain optimal and affordable radio telescope designs.

The ALEXIS satellite contains the ALEXIS telescope array, which consists of six EUV/ultrasoft X-ray telescopes utilizing normal incidence multilayer mirrors, microchannel plate detectors, and thin UV rejecting filters. Each telescope is tuned to a relatively narrow bandpass centered at either 130, 171, or 186 angstroms. Each telescope has a 33° field-of-view, and a resolution of ~ 0.25°.

There is no question that relatively small telescopes are powerful tools for astronomy, just as they always have been. With the new detectors and full usage of computers, they have become even more powerful, enabling us to do with a one-meter aperture telescope today more than 4-meter or 5-meter telescopes could do only a few decades ago. And the small ones cost a lot less to build and operate than the large ones. As such, small telescopes are the main hope for observing time for the many astronomers worldwide who need them as part of their research (or educational) tools. They can make a majo

Adaptive Optics (AO) has become a key technology for the largest ground-based telescopes currently under, or close to beginning of, construction. AO is an indispensable component and has basically only one task, that is to operate the telescope at its maximum angular resolution, without optical degradations resulting from atmospheric seeing. Based on three decades of experience using AO usually as an add-on component, all extremely large telescopes and their instrumentation are designed for diffraction limited observations from the very beginning.

Abstract Telescope arrays are receiving increasing attention due to their promise of higher resource utilization, greater sky survey area, and higher frequency of full space-time monitoring than single telescopes. Compared with the ordinary coordinated operation of several telescopes, the new astronomical observation mode has an order of magnitude difference in the number of telescopes. It requires efficient coordinated observation by large-domain telescopes distributed at different sites.
