Adaptive Optics on Large Telescopes
Observations with ground based telescopes suffer from atmospheric turbulence. Independent of the telescope size the angular resolution in the visible is equivalent to that of a telescope with a diameter of 10–20cm. This effect is caused by the turbulent mixing of air with different temperature in the atmosphere. Thus, the perfectly plane wave from a star at infinity is aberrated before it enter...
متن کاملOptical vortex coronagraphs on ground-based telescopes
The optical vortex coronagraph is potentially a remarkably effective device, at least for an ideal unobstructed telescope. Most groundbased telescopes however suffer from central obscuration and also have to operate through the aberrations of the turbulent atmosphere. This note analyzes the performance of the optical vortex in these circumstances and compares to some other designs, showing that...
متن کاملLyot Coronagraphy on Giant Segmented-mirror Telescopes
We present a study of Lyot style (i.e., classical, band-limited, and Gaussian occulter) coronagraphy on extremely large, highly-segmented telescopes. We show that while increased telescope diameter is always an advantage for high dynamic range science (assuming wavefront errors have been corrected sufficiently well), segmentation itself sets a limit on the performance of Lyot coronagraphs. Diff...
متن کاملWind loads on ground-based telescopes.
One of the factors that can influence the performance of large optical telescopes is the vibration of the telescope structure due to unsteady wind inside the telescope enclosure. Estimating the resulting degradation in image quality has been difficult because of the relatively poor understanding of the flow characteristics. Significant progress has recently been made, informed by measurements i...
متن کاملSpectroscopy on Small Telescopes: the Echelle Spectrograph
In recent years there has been a trend toward the automation of modest sized observatories, especially those involved with photoelectric photometry. Although undoubtedly useful, there is clearly a need for more advanced instrumentation such as spectrographs. The relatively small telescope sizes places severe limits on the choice of spectrograph configuration. A fiber-fed echelle spectrograph is...
