Imaging performance of telescope mirrors for far-ultraviolet astronomy.
We describe image testing, surface metrology, and modeling of telescope mirrors (0.5 m in diameter, f/4.3) for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. Laboratory image testing of wavelengths in the visible, vacuum, and midultraviolet validated a theoretical analysis by use of the Optical Surface Analysis Code (OSAC). Our modeling is based on surface metrology, including mea...
متن کاملTransient astronomy with the Gaia satellite.
Gaia is a cornerstone European Space Agency astrometry space mission and a successor to the Hipparcos mission. Gaia will observe the whole sky for 5 years, providing a serendipitous opportunity for the discovery of large numbers of transient and anomalous events, e.g. supernovae, novae and microlensing events, gamma-ray burst afterglows, fallback supernovae, as well as theoretical or unexpected...
متن کاملQuality Control of Belsk’s Dobson Spectrophotometer: Comparison with the European Sub-Standard Dobson Spectrophotometer and Satellite (OMI) Overpasses
The total ozone measurements by Belsk’s Dobson spectrophotometer have been compared with the satellite total ozone taken during the OMI (on board of Aura spacecraft) overpasses for the period August 2004 – July 2006. The agreement between both data sets is much better if the results of the recent (June 2005) calibration campaign of Belsk’s Dobson at Hohenpeissenberg are incorporated to the stan...
متن کاملOptical cell with a temperature-control unit for a vacuum-ultraviolet circular dichroism spectrophotometer.
We constructed an assembled-type MgF2 cell that can function under a high vacuum (10(-4) Pa), and is capable of measuring the vacuum-ultraviolet circular dichroism (VUVCD) spectrum in a wavelength region down to 140 nm for aqueous solutions. Its path length can be adjusted by various spacers in the range from 1.3 to 50 microm. The temperature-control unit of the cell was also constructed with a...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Future of Ultraviolet Astronomy
I describe the capabilities of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, scheduled for May 2009 installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. With a factor-of-ten increase in far-UV throughput for moderate-resolution spectroscopy, COS will enable a range of scientific programs that study hot stars, AGN, and gas in the interstellar medium, intergalactic medium, and galactic halos. We also plan a large-scal...
