Smart Focal Plane Technologies for VLT Instruments
Colin Cunningham, Chris Evans
As we move towards the era of ELTs, it is timely to think about the future role of the 8-m class telescopes. Under the OPTICON programme, novel technologies have been developed tha…
ELT instrumentation for seeing-limited and AO-corrected observations: A comparison
Colin Cunningham, Chris Evans, Guy Monnet +1
The next generation of large ground-based optical and infrared telescopes will provide new challenges for designers of astronomical instrumentation. The varied science cases for th…
A multi-object, multi-field spectrometer and imager for a European ELT
Chris Evans, Colin Cunningham, Eli Atad-Ettedgui +11
One of the highlights of the European ELT Science Case book is the study of resolved stellar populations, potentially out to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A European ELT would ena…
Challenges in optics for Extremely Large Telescope instrumentation
P. Spanò, F. M. Zerbi, C. J. Norrie +15
We describe and summarize the optical challenges for future instrumentation for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs). Knowing the complex instrumental requirements is crucial for the…
SCUBA: A common-user submillimetre camera operating on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
Wayne S. Holland, E. I. Robson, Walter K. Gear +10
SCUBA, the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array, built by the Royal Observatory Edinburgh for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, is the most versatile and powerful of a new ge…
SCUBA - A submillimetre camera operating on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
Wayne S. Holland, Colin R. Cunningham, Walter K. Gear +4
The Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) is one of a new generation of cameras designed to operate in the submillimetre waveband. The instrument has a wide wavelength…
