Telescope simulators for Hubble: an overview of optical designs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various optical configurations for Hubble Space Telescope simulators have been proposed, and some are being built for use as verification tools to characterize the performance of second-generation instruments during ground testing. We describe the Hubble Space Telescope, present an overview of three optical designs for simulators, and discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of each configuration.

Modeling technique for the Hubble Space Telescope wave-front deformation.
Images from the Hubble Space Telescope suffer from an overcorrected spherical aberration that is due to a conic-constant error in the primary mirror. Within the program known as the corrective optics space telescope axial replacement (COSTAR) simulators have been built to provide the point-spread function (PSF) of the telescope alone and of the telescope with the faint-object camera F/96. It wa...
متن کاملPulsating red giant and supergiant stars in the Local Group dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
We have conducted an optical long-term monitoring survey of the majority of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), to identify the long period variable (LPV) stars. LPV stars vary on timescales of months to years, and reach the largest amplitudes of their brightness variations at optical wavelengths, due to the changing temperature. They trace stellar populati...
متن کاملThree years of MBSE for a large scientific programme: Report from the Trenches of Telescope Modeling
The most ambitious projects of the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) is the construction of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) which will be by far the world's largest optical and near-infrared telescope, and. will provide images 15 times sharper than those from the Hubble Space Telescope. Such a project poses continuous challenges to systems engineering due to its complexity in...
متن کاملHubble Space Telescope Observations of Binary Very-Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs
We present analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images of 82 nearby field late-M and L dwarfs. We resolve 13 of these systems into double M/L dwarf systems and identify Visiting Astronomer, Kitt Peak National Observatory, National Optical Astronomy Observatories, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) under cooperative agreement with the Nation...
متن کاملRadio Observations of the Hubble Deep Field South Region IV: Optical Properties of the Faint Radio Population
The Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South (ATHDFS) survey of the Hubble Deep Field South reaches sensitivities of ∼ 10 μJy at 1.4, 2.5, 5.2 and 8.7 GHz, making the ATHDFS one of the deepest surveys ever performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Here we present the optical identifications of the ATHDFS radio sources using data from the literature. We find that ∼66% of the radio...
