Radio telescopes of large resolving power.
It was not until 1958 that It could be shown with some certainty that most of the radio sources were powerful extragalactic objects, but the possi bilities were so exciting even in 1952 that my colleagues and I set about the task of designing instruments capable of extending the observation to weaker and weaker sources, and of exploring their internal structure. Early observations of radio sou...
متن کاملOperational Concepts of Large Telescopes *
The singular way of scheduling at major observatories has favored certain types of astronomy. This has led to the discrimination of certain types of observations which could not be accommodated. It is the goal of future operations to open possibilities for some additional types of observational astronomy. Together with improved observatory operations the new observing modes can provide signific...
متن کاملWind buffeting of large telescopes.
Unsteady wind loads due to turbulence within the telescope enclosure are one of the largest dynamic disturbances for ground-based optical telescopes. The desire to minimize the response to the wind influences the design of the telescope enclosure, structure, and control systems. There is now significant experience in detailed integrated modeling to predict image jitter due to wind. Based on thi...
متن کاملScientific impact of large telescopes
The scientific impacts of telescopes worldwide have been compared on the basis of their contributions to (a) the 1000 most-cited astronomy papers published 1991-8 (125 from each year), and (b) the 452 astronomy papers published in Nature 1989-98. 1-m and 2-m ground-based telescopes account for ≈ 5% of the citations to the top-cited papers, 4-m telescopes 10%, Keck I/II 4%, sub-mm and radio tele...
متن کاملBuilding Large Telescopes: Ii- Reflectors
On the turn of the twentieth century the refractor was rapidly approaching its limits in terms of aperture. The main reason for this was the difficulty in manufacturing discs of crown and flint glass with diameters greater than 100 cm. Manufactures of plate-glass could however cast large disks of ordinary crown glass, of lower optical quality, that were suitable for mirrors. It was also known t...
