A possible advantage of telescopes with a non-circular pupil
Guy Nir, Barak Zackay, Eran O. Ofek
Most telescope designs have a circular-shape aperture. We demonstrate that telescopes with an elongated pupil have better contrast, at lower separations, between a bright central s…
The Robo-AO-2 facility for rapid visible/near-infrared AO imaging and the demonstration of hybrid techniques
Christoph Baranec, Mark Chun, Donald Hall +23
We are building a next-generation laser adaptive optics system, Robo-AO-2, for the UH 2.2-m telescope that will deliver robotic, diffraction-limited observations at visible and nea…
Optimal and Efficient Streak Detection in Astronomical Images
Guy Nir, Barak Zackay, Eran O. Ofek
Identification of linear features (streaks) in astronomical images is important for several reasons, including: detecting fast-moving near-Earth asteroids; detecting or flagging fa…
catsHTM - A tool for fast accessing and cross-matching large astronomical catalogs
Maayane T. Soumagnac, Eran O. Ofek
Fast access to large catalogs is required for some astronomical applications. Here we introduce the catsHTM tool, consisting of several large catalogs reformatted into HDF5-based f…
