Atmospheric refraction: a history.
We trace the history of atmospheric refraction from the ancient Greeks up to the time of Kepler. The concept that the atmosphere could refract light entered Western science in the second century B.C. Ptolemy, 300 years later, produced the first clearly defined atmospheric model, containing air of uniform density up to a sharp upper transition to the ether, at which the refraction occurred. Alha...

Wavefront refraction and correction.
Galileo Galilei, the father of experimental science, taught that to understand nature, you must measure nature. Galileo’s contemporary, Christophoro Scheiner, explored the nature of eyes as optical instruments and discovered how to measure the eye’s focusing distance simply by viewing a point of light through closely spaced pinholes in an opaque card. Two centuries later, Thomas Young used Sche...
متن کاملA Simple Method of Correcting Magnitudes for the Errors Introduced by Atmospheric Refraction
We show that the errors due to atmospheric refraction are present in the magnitudes determined with the Difference Images Analysis method. In case of single, unblended stars the size of the effect agrees with the theoretical prediction. But when the blending is strong, what is quite common in a dense field, then the effect of atmospheric refraction can be strongly amplified to the extent that s...
متن کاملRadiometric Correction of Anomalous Refraction
We propose a scheme to measure and correct anomalous refraction effects for millimeter wave antennas. A radiometer tuned to the 183 GHz atmospheric water vapor line scans the atmosphere above the aperture of an antenna to determine the spatial derivative of the refractive index. In an array of antennas, such as the MMA, it would be used simultaneously to measure the phase delay correction for t...
