Emerging trends of optical interferometry in astronomy

The current status of the high spatial resolution imaging interferometry in optical astronomy is reviewed in the light of theoretical explanation, as well as of experimental constraints that exist in the present day technology. The basic mathematical interlude pertinent to the interferometric technique and its applications in astronomical observations using both single aperture, as well as dilu...

Trends in Software for Large Astronomy Projects

Current 8-10m ground-based telescopes require complex real-time control systems that are large, distributed, fault tolerant, integrated and heterogeneous. New challenges on the horizon (laser guide star, adaptive optics, 30–40m class telescopes) will bring increased complexity, where requirements cannot be cleanly isolated due to component coupling within the control and acquisition chain. More...

Publication Trends in Astronomy: The Lone Author

This communication illustrates the trend discussed by Mott Greene in the essay “The demise of the lone author” (Greene (2007)). Trends are likely to be different for different disciplines. As Mott observes: “In most fields outside mathematics, fewer and fewer people know enough to work and write alone”. In addition to this, in most disciplines large (and often multi-national) collaborations hav...
