A focusing telescope for gamma-ray astronomy
With the development of the Laue Lens, gamma-ray astronomy is presently realizing the step that virtually all branches of astronomy have accomplished since Lippershey’s invention 400 years ago: the focusing telescope. In a Laue lens, gamma-rays interact coherently inside a crystal via Bragg-diffraction; a large number of diffraction crystals are oriented in a way to deviate incident photons ont...
متن کاملThe Magic Telescope Project for Gamma Astronomy above 10 Gev
A project to construct a 17 m diameter imaging air Čerenkov telescope, called the MAGIC Telescope, is described. The aim of the project is to close the observation gap in the γ-ray sky extending from 10 GeV as the highest energy measurable by space-borne experiments to 300 GeV, the lowest energy measurable by the current generation of ground-based Čerenkov telescopes. The MAGIC Telescope will i...
متن کاملThe MAGIC telescope for gamma-ray astronomy above 30 GeV
The MAGIC telescope is presently at its commissioning phase at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) on the island of La Palma. MAGIC will become the largest ground-based gamma ray telescope in the world, being sensitive to photons of energies as low as 30 GeV. The spectral range between 10 and 300 GeV remains to date mostly unexplored. Observations in this region of the spectrum are exp...
متن کاملThe MAGIC Cherenkov Telescope for gamma ray astronomy
The Major Atmospheric Gamma ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope (MAGIC) is in commissioning phase and will start to become fully operative by the end of 2003. Located at El Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain), it has the largest reflector area (17 m diameter) of all the existing Cherenkov telescopes. New technologies have been used to reduce the energy threshold for gamma-ray...
متن کاملLow-background Far-infrared Telescope for Balloon-borne Infrared Astronomy
The design and performance of a new type of far-infrared telescope is discussed. The instrument is only 20cm in diameter, but its performance exceeds that of other telescopes at lOOp. The performance of far-infrared telescopes is limited not only by size but also by design and environment. The 30cm infrared telescope flown in the Nasa-Ames Lear Jet (Aumann, Low and Gillespie 1970) was limited b...
