An off-axis, wide-field, diffraction-limited, reflective Schmidt Telescope
Off-axis telescopes with unobstructed pupils offer great advantages in terms of emissivity, throughput, and diffractionlimited energy concentration. For most telescope designs, implementation of an off-axis configuration imposes enormous penalties in terms of cost, optical difficulty and performance, and for this reason off-axis telescopes are rarely constructed. However, for the reflective Sch...
متن کاملpn-CCDs in a Low-Background Environment: Detector Background of the CAST X-ray Telescope
The CAST experiment at CERN (European Organization of Nuclear Research) searches for axions from the sun. The axion is a pseudoscalar particle that was motivated by theory thirty years ago, with the intention to solve the strong CP problem. Together with the neutralino, the axion is one of the most promising dark matter candidates. The CAST experiment has been taking data during the last two ye...
متن کاملOn the Andrews-Curtis equivalence
The Andrews-Curtis conjecture claims that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be reduced to the standard one by a sequence of \elementary transformations" which are Nielsen transformations augmented by arbitrary conjugations. It is a prevalent opinion that this conjecture is false; however, not many potential counterexamples are known. In this paper, we show that some of the pr...
متن کاملThe Remak-Krull-Schmidt Theorem on\ Fuzzy Groups
In this paper we study a representation of a fuzzy subgroup $mu$ of a group $G$, as a product of indecomposable fuzzy subgroups called the components of $mu$. This representation is unique up to the number of components and their isomorphic copies. In the crisp group theory, this is a well-known Theorem attributed to Remak, Krull, and Schmidt. We consider the lattice of fuzzy subgroups and som...
متن کاملPSF Measurements on Back-Illuminated CCDs
The spatial resolution of an optical device is generally characterized by either the Point Spread Function (PSF) or the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF). To directly obtain the PSF one needs to measure the response of an optical system to a point light source. We present data that show the response of a back-illuminated CCD to light emitted from a sub-micron diameter glass ber tip. The potent...
