Lucky Imaging: High Angular Resolution Imaging in the Visible from the Ground
We use a Lucky Imaging system to obtain I-band images with improved angular resolution on a 2.5m telescope. We present results from a 10-night assessment campaign on the 2.56m Nordic Optical Telescope and quantify the performance of our system in seeings better than 1.0”. In good seeing we have acquired near diffraction-limited images; in poorer seeing the angular resolution has been routinely ...

We report on optical observations on GRB 000210 obtained with the 2.56m Nordic Optical Telescope and the 1.54-m Danish Telescope starting 12.4 hours after the gamma-ray event. The content of the X-ray error box determined by the Chandra satellite is discussed.
متن کاملProposed instrumentation for PILOT
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed Australian/European optical/infrared telescope for Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau, with target first light in 2012. The proposed telescope is 2.4m diameter, with overall focal ratio f/10, and a 1 degree field-of-view. In median seeing conditions, it delivers 0.3" FWHM widefield image quality, from 0.7-2.5 microns...
متن کاملDiffraction-limited Imaging with Ground-based Optical Telescopes
The construction of diffraction-limited images with ground-based optical telescopes by means of closure-phase observations is explored. The effect of redundant baselines on closure-phase observations is analyzed, and it is shown that for bright objects a nonredundant-mask approach is superior to the use of the full aperture. Observations of closure phase with a nonredundant mask on the 200 in. ...
متن کاملSuper-resolution optical telescopes with local light diffraction shrinkage
Suffering from giant size of objective lenses and infeasible manipulations of distant targets, telescopes could not seek helps from present super-resolution imaging, such as scanning near-field optical microscopy, perfect lens and stimulated emission depletion microscopy. In this paper, local light diffraction shrinkage associated with optical super-oscillatory phenomenon is proposed for real-t...
