Optical turbulence forecast for ground-based astronomy and free-space optical communication
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Camilo Weinberger +2
Forecasting optical turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere has been an ambitious challenge for the astronomical scientific community for several decades. While earlier research prima…
Easy remote observations using web interfaces: controlling an Italian telescope from Japan, and more
Davide Ricci, Lorenzo Cabona, Bernardo Salasnich +5
Remote observations are often limited by user interfaces, which seem frozen to another computer era: low performances, outdated programming languages, command-line scripting, high…
