Conferences And Concerts

I remember having been flamed, a long time ago, when in this column I ventured to claim that there was an inflation of physics conferences and workshops around, which to me looked both counter-productive (if there are too many such events, they become ... Continue reading

News Of The Demise Of The Standard Model Were Exaggerated

Each man kills the thing he loves, sang Jeanne Moreau in a beautiful song some thirty years ago. But the sentence is actually a quote from Oscar Wilde - aren't all smart quotes from that amazing writer?Anyway, in some way this rather startling concept ... Continue reading

Some Additional Tests Of The RadiaCode

In the previous post I have described some of the main functionalities of the RadiaCode 103 radiation spectrometer, which the company graciously made available for my tests. Here I want to discuss some additional tests I have done, using radioactive sa... Continue reading

Your Portable Radiation Spectrometer – The Wondrous Radiacode 103

A few days ago I put my hands on a RadiaCode 103, a pocket radiation counter, dosimeter, and spectrometer that has recently appeared on the market. The company that produces it, RadiaCode, is located in Cyprus (see https://radiacode.com). The instrumen... Continue reading

Prevedere la turbolenza ottica per migliorare il lavoro dei telescopi

Pubblicato il 03/07/2024
telescopi

Ottenere immagini astronomiche accurate dipende non solo dalla potenza dei telescopi, ma anche dalle condizioni meteorologiche e dalle turbolenze atmosferiche. Il progetto FATE mira a prevedere la turbolenza ottica e i principali parametri atmosferici per ottimizzare le osservazioni con il Very Large Telescope (VLT) e il futuro Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Monitorare questi fattori è cruciale per sfruttare al massimo le capacità dei telescopi terrestri, migliorando la risoluzione e la qualità della ricerca astronomica e astrofisica.

Ottenere immagini astronomiche accurate non è solo una questione che riguarda la potenza o la dimensione dei telescopi utilizzati. Le prestazioni di questi strumenti, in particolare quelli che operano nell’infrarosso e nel visibile, dipendono fortemente dalle condizioni meteorologiche e dalle turbolenze atmosferiche dell’area durante l’osservazione. Per ottimizzare telescopi come l’attuale Very Large Telescope (VLT) e il futuro Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) è quindi cruciale ottimizzare questi parametri.
