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.
