Ja n 20 04 The Sky Polarization Observatory ( SPOrt )
SPOrt is an ASI–funded experiment specifically designed to measure the sky polarization at 22, 32 and 90 GHz, which was selected in 1997 by ESA to be flown on the International Space Station. Starting in 2006 and for at least 18 months, it will be taking direct and simultaneous measurements of the Stokes parameters Q and U at 660 sky pixels, with FWHM = 7◦. Due to development efforts over the p...

متن کاملThe Digital Sky Project: Prototyping Virtual Observatory
Astronomy is entering a new era as multiple, large area, digital sky surveys are in production. The resulting datasets are truly remarkable in their own right; however, a revolutionary step arises in the aggregation of complimentary multi-wavelength surveys (i.e., the crossidentification of a billion sources) . The federation of these large datasets is already underway, and is producing a major...
متن کاملHigh Energy All Sky Transient Radiation Observatory
The scientific discoveries made by H.E.S.S. during its first year of operation encourage a reexamination of the open problems in high energy astrophysics and of the capabilities of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique, which could be employed to address them. We report on an initial Monte Carlo exploration of a ground-based instrument for observing cosmologically distant high energy transient ph...
متن کاملThe Night-sky at the Calar Alto Observatory Ii: the Sky at the near Infrared
We present the characterization of additional properties of the night-sky at the Calar Alto observatory, following the study started in Sánchez et al. (2007), hereafter Paper I. We focus here on the night sky-brightness at the near-infrared, the telescope seeing, and the fraction of useful time at the observatory. For this study we have collected a large dataset comprising 7311 near-infrared im...
