Next-generation astronomy
Fundamental changes are taking place in the way we do astronomy. In twenty years time, it is likely that most astronomers will never go near a cutting-edge telescope, which will be much more efficiently operated in service mode. They will rarely analyse data, since all the leadingedge telescopes will have pipeline processors. And rather than competing to observe a particularly interesting objec...
متن کاملNext Generation Radio Astronomy Receiver Systems
Ground-breaking radio astronomy observations in the coming decade will require unprecedented levels of sensitivity while mapping large regions of space with much greater efficiency than is achieved with current telescopes. This requires new instrumentation with the greatest achievable sensitivity, dynamic range, and field of view. Receiver noise is quickly approaching fundamental limits at most...
متن کاملNext Generation X-ray Detectors for In-house Xrd
A novel type X-ray detector, called PILATUS, has been developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) in Switzerland during the last decade. PILATUS detectors are two-dimensional hybrid pixel array detectors, which operate in single-photon counting mode. PILATUS detectors feature a very wide dynamic range (1:1,000,000), very short read out time (< 3.0 msec), no readout noise, and very high counti...
متن کاملAn X-ray harmonic separator for next-generation synchrotron X-ray sources and X-ray free-electron lasers
An X-ray prism for the extraction of a specific harmonic of undulator radiation is proposed. By using the prism in a grazing incidence geometry, the beam axes of fundamental and harmonics of undulator radiation are separated with large angles over 10 µrad, which enables the selection of a specific harmonic with the help of apertures, while keeping a high photon flux. The concept of the harmonic...
متن کاملX-ray Astronomy of Stellar Coronae ⋆
X-ray emission from stars in the cool half of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is generally attributed to the presence of a magnetic corona that contains plasma at temperatures exceeding 1 million K. Coronae are ubiquitous among these stars, yet many fundamental mechanisms operating in their magnetic fields still elude an interpretation through a detailed physical description. Stellar X-ray astr...
