ATLAS-TEIDE: The next generations of ATLAS units for the Teide Observatory
Javier Licandro, John Tonry, Miguel R. Alarcon +2
In this work we present the design of the ATLAS unit (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) that will be installed at Teide Observatory in Tenerife island (Spain). ATLAS-T…
Scientific CMOS sensors in Astronomy: IMX455 and IMX411
Miguel R. Alarcon, Javier Licandro, Miquel Serra-Ricart +3
Scientific complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detectors have developed quickly in recent years thanks to their low cost and high availability. They also have some advan…
SG-WAS: a new Wireless Autonomous Night Sky Brightness Sensor
Miguel R. Alarcon, Marta Puig-Subirà, Miquel Serra-Ricart +3
The main features of SG-WAS (SkyGlow Wireless Autonomous Sensor), a low-cost device for measuring Night Sky Brightness (NSB), are presented. SG-WAS is based on the TSL237 sensor --…
Natural Night Sky Brightness during Solar Minimum
M. R. Alarcon, M. Serra-Ricart, S. Lemes-Perera +1
In 2018, Solar Cycle 24 entered into a solar minimum phase. During this period, 11 million zenithal night sky brightness (NSB) data were collected at different dark sites around th…
Restoring the night sky darkness at Observatorio del Teide: First application of the model Illumina version 2
Martin Aubé, Alexandre Simoneau, Casiana Munoz-Tunon +2
The propagation of artificial light into real environments is complex. To perform its numerical modelling with accuracy one must consider hyperspectral properties of the lighting d…
