  1. CERN Axion Solar Telescope

    Image CAST Experiment.jpg 500px thumb CAST The CERN Axion Solar Telescope CAST is an experiment in astroparticle physics to search for axion s originating from the Sun . The experiment, sited at CERN in Switzerland, came online in 2002 with the first data taking run starting in May 2003. The successful detection of solar axions would constitute a major discovery in particle physics , and would also open up a brand new window on the astrophysics of the solar core. If the hypothetical axions exist, they may be produced in the Sun s core when X ray s scatter off electrons and protons in the presence of strong electric field s. The experimental setup is built around a 9.26  meter long Large Hadron Collider LHC magnet capable of producing a field of up to 9.5  tesla unit tesla s. This strong magnetic field is expected to convert solar axions back into X rays for subsequent detection by X ray detectors. The telescope observes the Sun for about 1.5 hours at sunrise and another 1.5 hours at sunset each day. The remaining 21 hours, with the instrument pointing away from the Sun, are spent measuring background axion levels. As of October 2006, CAST has not turned up definitive evidence for solar axions. It has, however, considerably narrowed down the range of parameters where these elusive particles may exist. The last phase of data taking is expected to continue through 2010.

    Razdow Laboratories , Inc. was founded by Austria n born physicist Dr. Adolph Razdow 1908 1985 . A refugee of the Holocaust, he emigrated to the United States in July 1946. In the early 1960s Razdow was awarded a contract by NASA to develop and deploy a series of solar monitoring telescopes at major observatories around the globe. These devices automatically tracked the sun across the sky, recording and transmitting television images of the solar disk in the Hydrogen alpha spectrum. NASA Astronauts , which would soon be traversing the space around the earth would be vulnerable to radiation storms caused by solar flares , and these telescopes were commissioned to provide a 24 hour watch on solar activity.

It is named after Gerard Mercator , famous cartographer. The telescope contains two different measuring devices. First of all, there is the MeropeII CCD camera . This camera has a size of 2k by 6k pixel s Frame Transfer detector originally designed for ESA s canceled Eddington space mission. The filters used together with this camera are according to the so called geneva photometric system . The second instrument on the Mercator Telescope is the HERMES echelle spectrograph . It covers a wavelength range between 380 and 875 nanometer nm with a spectral resolution of R 85000 ref http www.mercator.iac.es instruments hermes RaskinHERMES.pdf ref . The P7 photometer was active from May 2001 until July 2008. The photometer measured in the 7 band Geneva photometric system. It measured the star in one channel and the sky in another so that the sky can be subtracted. The filter wheel is turning at a rate of 4 Hertz Hz , changing between the filters of the photometric system. It is sited at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos on La Palma .

    Refimprove date March 2007 A small telescope is generally considered by professional astronomers to be any Reflecting telescope reflector type telescope with a primary mirror of less than 2 metres diameter. ref http astro.nineplanets.org bigeyes.html The World s Largest Optical Telescopes , Bill Arnett s Astro Web Sites ref Little if any professional level research is performed with the Refractor refracting type of telescope in the modern era of astronomy. Small telescopes dominate astronomy astronomical research in the fields of asteroid and comet Discovery observation discovery and observation , variable star Photometry astronomy photometry , and supernova and nova discovery, and colorimetry and Polarimetry of the solar system s planet s. Because of their limited light gathering capability, small telescopes are usually not well suited to spectroscopy , although some useful spectroscopic work can be performed with reflecting type telescopes with a primary mirror as small as 14 35  cm when equipped with the increasingly sophisticated modern imaging and spectroscopic instrumentation recently becoming available to amateur astronomers. Most telescopes within the field of amateur astronomy are considered to be small, ranging in general from 2 50  mm achromatic refracting types, to reflecting type telescopes featuring primary mirrors up to and sometime exceeding 36 90  cm in diameter. Most small telescopes are dedicated to visual observing, although many are applied to such uses as gathering scientific data, or astrophotography .

The strong absorption of UV radiation by the Earth s atmosphere makes it challenging to carry out ground based observations at these wavelengths. A balloon mission reaching altitudes of above 30  km benefits from a reduction of UV absorption by 99 , making engineering solutions for the telescope easier. The launch sites are either in antarctica or in the arctic region to make uninterrupted observation of the sun over several days possible. The telescope has a 1 metre primary mirror that directs the 1  kW of solar radiation to the first focal point where 99 of the radiation is reflected out of the telescope, the remaining light is transferred into several instruments. ref name gan cite journal title SUNRISE High resolution UV VIS observations of the sun from the stratosphere doi 10.1016 j.asr.2007.09.024 journal Advances in Space Research volume 42 issue 1 year 2008 pages 70 77 url http www.mps.mpg.de dokumente publikationen solanki j260.pdf last1 Barthol first1 P last2 Gandorfer first2 A last3 Solanki ... 1009.3196 title The Wave Front Correction System for the Sunrise Balloon Borne Solar Observatory ...
