Technology of the LSST focal plane
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, now in the research and development phase, will undertake a wide angle, deep survey of the entire southern sky starting in 2014. The survey database will support a wide variety of astrophysical investigations, with particular emphasis on elucidating the nature of dark energy. To achieve its science goals, LSST will incorporate a silicon-based focal plane wit...
متن کاملFOCAL POINT AND FOCAL K-PLANE
This paper deals with the basic notions of k-tautimmersions . These notions come from two special cases; that is, tight and taut immersions. Tight and taut based on high and distance functions respectively and their basic notions are normal bundle, endpoint map, focal point, critical normal. We generalize hight and distance functions to cylindrical function and define basic notions of k-taut ...

متن کاملFuture Focal Plane Technology Challenges for NASA’s Origins Missions
Recent advances in astronomical research have led to a much-improved understanding of the evolution of the physical Universe. Rlecent advances in biology and genetics have led to a much-improved understanding of our biological Universe. Scientists now believe that we have the research tools to begin to answer one of man’s two most compelling research questions: “are we alone?’ and “how did we g...
متن کاملStarbug – A Smart Focal Plane technology for ELT instruments
Starbug is a robotic positioning development concept for deploying many payloads, such as pickoff optics, optical fibres, integral field units, to micron level accuracy over a flat or curved focal surface. With a heritage of fibre positioners such as 2dF, OzPoz and FMOS-Echidna, this concept addresses some of the limitations of other positioning systems to provide a reliable, cost effective way...
