The Astronomical Telescope of the University of Stuttgart (ATUS): Development, Optimization, and Lessons Learned
Karsten Schindler, Jürgen Wolf, Alfred Krabbe
ATUS, the Astronomical Telescope of the University of Stuttgart, is a fully remote-controlled 0.6 m f/8.17 Ritchey-Chrétien telescope optimized for high-cadence, high-fidelity phot…
Stratospheric Balloons as a Complement to the Next Generation of Astronomy Missions
Philipp Maier, Maria Ångerman, Jürgen Barnstedt +23
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is for example the case for high spatial resolution far infrared astr…
Stratospheric balloons as a platform for the next large far infrared observatory
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Alfred Krabbe +21
Observations that require large physical instrument dimensions and/or a considerable amount of cryogens, as it is the case for high spatial resolution far infrared (FIR) astronomy,…
Towards a European Stratospheric Balloon Observatory -- The ESBO Design Study
Philipp Maier, Jürgen Wolf, Thomas Keilig +18
This paper presents the concept of a community-accessible stratospheric balloon-based observatory that is currently under preparation by a consortium of European research institute…
Status of the STUDIO UV balloon mission and platform
A. Pahler, M. Ångermann, J. Barnstedt +24
Stratospheric balloons offer accessible and affordable platforms for observations in atmosphere-constrained wavelength ranges. At the same time, they can serve as an effective step…
Microchannel-Plate Detector Development for Ultraviolet Missions
Lauro Conti, Jürgen Barnstedt, Sebastian Buntrock +19
The Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Tübingen (IAAT) has a long-term experience in developing and building space-qualified imaging and photon counting microchannel-plate…
Results from a triple chord stellar occultation and far-infrared photometry of the trans-Neptunian object (229762) 2007 UK126
Karsten Schindler, Jürgen Wolf, Jerry Bardecker +8
A stellar occultation by a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) provides an opportunity to probe its size and shape. Very few occultations by TNOs have been sampled simultaneously from mul…
First exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy: Confirmation of Rayleigh scattering in HD 189733 b with HIPO
Daniel Angerhausen, Georgi Mandushev, Avi Mandell +13
Here we report on the first successful exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). We observed a single transit of the hot Jupi…
The SOFIA Observatory at the Start of Routine Science Operations : Mission capabilities and performance
Pasquale Temi, Pamela M. Marcum, Erick Young +65
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has recently concluded a set of engineering flights for Observatory performance evaluation. These in-flight opportuniti…
Early Science with SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
E. T. Young, E. E. Becklin, P. M. Marcum +38
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is an airborne observatory consisting of a specially modified Boeing 747SP with a 2.7-m telescope, flying at altitudes…
