  • The 50cm robotic telescope: control system upgrade and automation 
    Stanzin, Tsewang; Jorphail, S; Parihar, P. S; Angchuk, D; Dorjai, T; Gyalson, T; Mahey, T. T; Dorjay, Padma; Dorjay, Phuntsok; Phunchok, Tsewang; Pamber, Tashi; Stanzin, Urgain; Angdu, Skalzang (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2022-08)
    We describe the details into the design and development of a low-cost yet efficient telescope control system (TCS) and observatory control software (OCS) for the 50cm telescope at the Indian Astronomical Observatory. The ...
  • Adaptive optics and its applications 
    Mohan, D; Mishra, S. K; Saha, S. K (National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, 2005-06)
    The adaptive optics (AO) system combines technologies that enable corrections in real time for the deleterious effects of the atmosphere allowing terrestrial telescopes to achieve their near diffraction-limit. Such a system ...
  • Creating a large aspheric primary mirror using spherical segments 
    Jacob, A; Parihar, P; James, Melvin.K (Springer, 2020-08)
    The use of aspheric mirrors is a common practice to design astronomical telescopes with a few optical elements. In the most preferred optical design Ritchey Chretien (RC), both primary and secondary mirrors are hyperboloid. ...
  • Modern optical astronomy: technology and impact of interferometry 
    Saha, S. K (The American Physical Society, 2002-04)
    The present ``state of the art'' and the path to future progress in high-spatial-resolution imaging interferometry is reviewed. The review begins with a treatment of the fundamentals of stellar optical interferometry, the ...
  • An overview of the proposed Indian spectroscopic and imaging space telescope 
    Subramaniam, A (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2022-12)
    India reached a major milestone in the area of space astronomy with the successful launch and postlaunch operations of its first space observatory, AstroSat. The success of this space observatory and the lessons learned ...
  • Prospect for UV observations from the Moon 
    Safonova, M; Mathew, J; Mohan, Rekhesh; Sreejith, A. G; Murthy, J; Brosch, N; Kappelmann, N; Sharma, A; Narayan, R (Springer, 2014-10)
    Space astronomy in the last 40 years has largely been done from spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) for which the technology is proven and delivery mechanisms are readily available. However, new opportunities are arising ...
  • Prospect for UV observations from the Moon. II. Instrumental design of an ultraviolet imager LUCI 
    Mathew, J; Prakash, A; Mayuresh, Sarpotdar; Sreejith, A. G; Nirmal, K; Ambily, S; Safonova, M; Murthy, J; Brosch, N (Springer, 2017-02)
    We present a design for a near-ultraviolet (NUV) imaging instrument which may be flown on a range of available platforms, including high-altitude balloons, nanosatellites, or space missions. Although all current UV space ...
  • Solar astronomy at high altitude 
    Hasan, S. S; Bagare, S. P; Rangarajan, K. E (Indian National Science Academy, 2014-11)
    A major project called the National Large Solar Telescope (NLST) has been proposed for pursuing Solar Astronomy at High Altitude. The project envisages the development of a state-of-the-art 2-m class telescope to carry ...
  • Study on segmentation and alignment related effects in a 10m class telescope 
    Jacob, A; Parihar, P. S; James, Melvin K; Dharmadhikari, Radhika (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2022-08)
    Indian astronomers are aiming to build a large 10m class optical-NIR telescope, equipped with state-of art instruments. After exploring many potential design options, we ended up with two mirror Ritchey-Chretien (RC) type ...
