Three New Mersenne Primes and a Statistical Theory
If p is prime, Mp = 2P — 1 is called a Mersenne number. If ui = 4 and «<+1 = Mj+i — 2, then M„ is prime if and only if uv-i m 0(mod Mp). This is called the Lucas test (see Lehmer [4]). The primes Mom , M mi, and Mu2W which are now the largest known primes, were discovered by Illiac II at the Digital Computer Laboratory of the University of Illinois. The computing times were 1 hour 23 minutes, 1...
متن کاملAn off-axis, wide-field, diffraction-limited, reflective Schmidt Telescope
Off-axis telescopes with unobstructed pupils offer great advantages in terms of emissivity, throughput, and diffractionlimited energy concentration. For most telescope designs, implementation of an off-axis configuration imposes enormous penalties in terms of cost, optical difficulty and performance, and for this reason off-axis telescopes are rarely constructed. However, for the reflective Sch...
متن کاملIFWG Memo: Telescope Primary Mirror Size
The appropriate metric to use in addressing this question is the limiting magnitude for self-referenced stabilisation of the fringes against the effects of atmospheric turbulence. The unit telescopes must collect sufficient photons to run both fringe-tracking and tiptilt correction systems, for a reasonable sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN). The inner parts of AGN have never been resolved,...
متن کاملOpto-thermal analysis of a lightweighted mirror for solar telescope.
In this paper, an opto-thermal analysis of a moderately heated lightweighted solar telescope mirror is carried out using 3D finite element analysis (FEA). A physically realistic heat transfer model is developed to account for the radiative heating and energy exchange of the mirror with surroundings. The numerical simulations show the non-uniform temperature distribution and associated thermo-el...
