Flat Map of a Sphere via Stress Minimization
Robert Vanderbei
In this paper we describe a mathematically interesting but relatively minor improvement to the Gott-Goldberg-Vanderbei (GGV) map projection. This new projection can be described as…
Flat Maps that improve on the Winkel Tripel
J. Richard Gott, David M. Goldberg, Robert J. Vanderbei
Goldberg & Gott (2008) developed six error measures to rate flat map projections on their verisimilitude to the sphere: Isotropy, Area, Flexion, Skewness, Distances, and Boundary C…
A Simple 3D Isometric Embedding of the Flat Square Torus
J. Richard Gott, Robert J. Vanderbei
Start with Gott (2019)'s envelope polyhedron (Squares-4 around a point): a unit cube missing its top and bottom faces. Stretch by a factor of 2 in the vertical direction so its sid…
Efficient wavefront sensing for space-based adaptive optics
He Sun, N. Jeremy Kasdin, Robert Vanderbei
Future large space telescopes will be equipped with adaptive optics (AO) to overcome wavefront aberrations and achieve high contrast for imaging faint astronomical objects, such as…
Apodized pupil Lyot coronagraphs designs for future segmented space telescopes
Kathryn St. Laurent, Kevin Fogarty, Neil T. Zimmerman +8
A coronagraphic starlight suppression system situated on a future flagship space observatory offers a promising avenue to image Earth-like exoplanets and search for biomarkers in t…
A Framework for Telescope Schedulers: With Applications to the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Elahesadat Naghib, Peter Yoachim, Robert J. Vanderbei +2
How ground-based telescopes schedule their observations in response to competing science priorities and constraints, variations in the weather, and the visibility of a particular p…
