We describe a technique for measuring the surface profile of a radio telescope with a fast paraboloidal primary. The technique uses a sensor, at the center of curvature of the primary, consisting of a millimeter-wave source and an array of receivers to measure the field in the caustic. The sensor is mounted on the telescope enclosure and it moves with the telescope, so the measurements can be u...

AzTEC is a mm-wavelength bolometric camera utilizing 144 silicon nitride micromesh detectors. Here, we describe the AzTEC instrument architecture and its use as an astronomical instrument. We report on several performance metrics measured during a three-month observing campaign at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and conclude with our plans for AzTEC as a facility instrument on the Large Milli...

We report on the discovery of a new potential galaxy threshing system in the COSMOS 2 square degree field using the prime-focus camera, Suprime-Cam, on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. This system consists of a giant elliptical galaxy with MV ≈ −21.6 and a tidally disrupted satellite galaxy with MV ≈ −17.7 at Based on data collected at Subaru Telescope, which is operated by the National Astronomical...

These days, there is an ever increasing need for realistic models, renderings and visualization of astronomical objects to be used in planetarium and as a tool in modern astrophysical research. One of the major goals of this dissertation is to develop novel algorithms for recovering and rendering 3D models of a specific set of astronomical objects. We first present a method to render the color ...

The fast growth of the wireless communication industry poses severe limitations on radio astronomical observations. Two such examples are the Iridium system which will probably cause problems within bands reserved to radio astronomy and the GSM system which became ubiquitous and thus prevents observation in its band. In this paper we present the results of blanking of interfering signals measur...

An interferometer system for use at the 2.34 meter Vainu Bappu Telescope (VBT), situated at Vainu Bappu Observatory (VBO), Kavalur, to obtain speckle-grams of astronomical objects in the visible wavelength, has been developed. Laboratory tests of resultant intensity distributions due to a point source, with phase modulation screens, as well as the images obtained using this interferometer at th...

We present a new solution for the dispersive element in astronomical spectrographs, which in many cases can provide an upgrade path to enhance the spectral resolution of existing moderate-resolution reflection-grating spectrographs. We demonstrate that in the case of LRIS-R at the Keck 1 Telescope a spectral resolution of 18,000 can be achieved with reasonable throughput under good seeing condi...
