Objective transmission gratings for large schmidt telescopes.
Several lamellar gratings of 18-in. aperture, with 300 diffraction elements per inch, have been made for determining stellar spectra with wide angle telescopes. Central orders are missing at lambda4800, and weak at adjacent wavelengths. The two, equal first orders are about l(m) weaker than spectra by a prism or echelette grating. Dispersion is linear. The procedure of manufacture is adaptable ...
متن کاملInstruments on large optical telescopes - A case study
In the distant past, telescopes were known, first and foremost, for the sizes of their apertures. However, the astronomical output of a telescope is determined by both the size of the aperture as well as the capabilities of the attached instrument. Advances in technology (not merely those related to astronomical detectors) are now enabling astronomers to build extremely powerful instruments to ...
متن کاملCooling Systems for Far-Infrared Telescopes and Instruments
NASA will need technology to cool detector systems to sub Kelvin temperatures for its future science program which includes missions such as the BLISS on SPICA, IXO, CMB-Pol, SPIRIT and SAFIR. Building on missions such as Spitzer, Planck, and ASTRO-E and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), new cooling technologies offer major advantages including long lifetimes, lower mass, and new capabilit...
متن کاملA Hilbert-Schmidt Dependence Maximization Approach to Unsupervised Structure Discovery
In recent work by (Song et al., 2007), it has been proposed to perform clustering by maximizing a HilbertSchmidt independence criterion with respect to a predefined cluster structure Y , by solving for the partition matrix, Π. We extend this approach here to the case where the cluster structure Y is not fixed, but is a quantity to be optimized; and we use an independence criterion which has bee...
متن کاملDiscovery Mode Search Techniques For Gamma-Ray Telescopes
Like many wide field gamma-ray telescopes, the Milagro observatory has a highly variable point spread function (PSF), dependent upon the characteristics of the incoming photon. Because of the large variations in the PSF, a binned transient search technique is not optimal, and maximum likelihood can be computationally unfeasible. I have expanded upon the Gaussian weighting technique [1] to devel...
