Efficiency of off-axis astronomical adaptive systems: comparison of experimental data for different astronomical sites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficiency of off-axis adaptive astronomical systems is estimated for four astronomical sites: Paranal (Chili), Roque de los Muchachos (Canary Islands), San Pedro Mártir (México) and Observatoire de Haute Provence (France). The efficiency of interest is considered through the Strehl ratio of the corrected image calculated for V, J and K bands and for 8-m class telescopes. The experimental optical turbulence strength ( ) 2 n C z profiles necessary for calculations have been measured with balloon flights and with the Generalized Scidar. It is found that this efficiency depends mainly on the ( ) 2 n C z profile layered structure and on the turbulence strength.

Maraghe Observatory and an Effort towards Retrieval of Architectural Design of Astronomical Units
Maraghe observatory was built by such engineers as Moayiededdin Orozi etc. under supervision of Khaje Nasireddin Tousi in 7th century AH. The most significant feature associated with Maraghe observatory is the fact that architecture is employed to achieve astronomical purposes in this site. The reason for preferring observatory by astronomers was the fact that these units are superior to wooden...

Coastal Water Level Prediction Model Using Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System
This paper employs Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to predict water level that leads to flood in coastal areas. ANFIS combines the verbal power of fuzzy logic and numerical power of neural network for its action. Meteorological and astronomical data of Santa Monica, a coastal area in California, U. S. A., were obtained. A portion of the data was used to train the ANFIS network, wh...

Celestial positioning has been used for navigation purposes for many years. Stars as the extra-terrestrial benchmarks provide unique opportunity in absolute point positioning. However, astronomical field data acquisition and data processing of the collected data is very time-consuming. The advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS) nearly made the celestial positioning system obsolete. The n...
متن کاملAn Experimental Setup to Develop Rfi Mitigation Techniques for Radio Astronomy
Increasing levels of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) are a problem for research in radio astronomy. Various techniques to suppress RFI and extract astronomical signals from data affected by interference are being tried out. However, extracting weak astronomical signals in the spectral region affected by RFI remains a technological challenge. In this paper, we describe the construction of an ...
