Space telescope Imaging Spectrograph
We acquired spectra of 24 LMC PNe in the 1150–3000 Å range in order to determine carbon and other ionic abundances. The sample more than doubles the number of LMC PNe with good quality UV spectra in this wavelength range, and whose optical images are available in the HST archive. The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph was used with a very large aperture to obtain virtually slit-less spectra, ...
متن کاملModular assembled space telescope
We present a new approach to building a modular segmented space telescope that greatly leverages the heritage of the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope. The modular design in which mirror segments are assembled into identical panels allows for economies of scale and for efficient space assembly that make a 20-m aperture approach cost effective. This assembly approach can ...
متن کاملSpherical Primary Optical Telescope (SPOT): An Architecture Demonstration for Cost-effective Large Space Telescopes
AbstructThis paper summarizes efforts underway at the Goddard Space Flight Center to demonstrate a new type of space telescope architecture that builds on the ria& segmented telescope heritage of the James Webb Space Telescope but that solves several key challenges for future space telescopes. The architecture is based on a costeffective segmented spherical primary mirror combined with a unique...
متن کاملConcept for a Large Scalable Space Telescope: In-Space Assembly
We present a conceptual design for a scalable (10-50 meter segmented filled-aperture) space observatory operating at UV-optical-near infrared wavelengths. This telescope is designed for assembly in space by robots, astronauts or a combination of the two, as envisioned in NASA's Vision for Space Exploration. Our operations concept for this space telescope provides for assembly and check-out in a...
متن کاملNo crisis for big bang nucleosynthesis.
Contrary to a recent claim, the inferred primordial abundances of the light elements are quite consistent with the expectations from standard big bang nucleosynthesis when attention is restricted to direct observations rather than results from chemical evolution models. The number of light neutrino (or equivalent particle) species (Nν) can be as high as 4.53 if the nucleon-tophoton ratio (η) is...
