Co-phasing the Large Binocular Telescope: status and performance of LBTI/PHASECam
D. Defrère, P. Hinz, E. Downey +19
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer is a NASA-funded nulling and imaging instrument designed to coherently combine the two 8.4-m primary mirrors of the LBT for high-sensit…
Nulling Data Reduction and On-Sky Performance of the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer
D. Defrère, P. M. Hinz, B. Mennesson +36
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) is a versatile instrument designed for high-angular resolution and high-contrast infrared imaging (1.5-13 microns). In this pape…
Verification of the Optical System of the 9.7-m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +77
For the first time in the history of ground-based -ray astronomy, the on-axis performance of the dual mirror, aspheric, aplanatic Schwarzschild-Couder optical system has been d…
Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Commissioning Status of the Optical System
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +56
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), with more than 100 telescopes, will be the largest ever ground-based gamma-ray observatory and is expected to greatly improve on both gamma-ray…
Development and operations of INFN optical modules for the SCT Telescope camera proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +54
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a proposal for the Medium Size Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array. Its concept is based on a two-mirror optical system designed…
