Towards a physical understanding of the thermal background in large ground-based telescopes
Leonard Burtscher, Ioannis Politopoulos, Sergio Fernández-Acosta +11
Ground-based thermal-infrared observations have a unique scientific potential, but are also extremely challenging due to the need to accurately subtract the high thermal background…
Speckle Imaging with VLT/NACO No-AO Mode
Sridharan Rengaswamy, Julien Girard, Willem-Jan de Wit +1
Long-exposure stellar images recorded with large ground-based telescopes are blurred due to the turbulent nature of the atmosphere. The VLT employs active and adaptive optics (AO)…
Towards the Intensity Interferometry Stellar Imaging System
M. Daniel, W. J. de Wit, D. Dravins +4
The imminent availability of large arrays of large light collectors deployed to exploit atmospheric Cherenkov radiation for gamma-ray astronomy at more than 100GeV, motivates the g…
New Astrophysical Opportunities Exploiting Spatio-Temporal Optical Correlations
C. Barbieri, M. K. Daniel, W. J. de Wit +8
The space-time correlations of streams of photons can provide fundamentally new channels of information about the Universe. Today's astronomical observations essentially measure ce…
