Abstract:
General arguments for optimized coronagraphy in the search for planets are presented. First, off-axis telescopes provide the best telescopic platforms for use with coronagraphy, and telescope fabrication technology now allows the fabrication of such telescopes with diameters of up to 6.5 m. We show that in certain circumstances a smaller telescope with an off-axis primary has a signal-to-noise advantage compared with larger Cassegrain telescopes. Second, to fully exploit the advantages of the coronagraph for suppressing stray light, it is necessary to use a high Strehl ratio adaptive optics system. This can be best achieved initially with modest aperture telescopes of 3–4 m in diameter. Third, application of simultaneous differential imaging and simultaneous polarimetric techniques are required to reach the photon-limit of coronagraphic imaging. These three developments, if pursued together, will yield significant improvements in the search for planets.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present an analysis of the scientific (refereed) paper productivity of the current largest (diameter > 8m) ground-based optical (and infrared) telescopes during the ten-year period from 2000 to 2009. The telescopes for which we have gathered and analysed the scientific publication data are the two 10-m Keck telescopes, the four 8.2-m Very Large Telescopes (VLT), the two 8.1-m Gemini telescopes, the 8.2-m Subaru telescope, and the 9.2-m Hobby–Eberly Telescope (HET). We have analysed the numbers of papers published in various astronomical journals produced by using these telescopes. While the total numbers of papers from these observatories are largest for the VLT, followed by Keck, Gemini, Subaru, and HET, the number of papers produced by each component of the telescopes is largest for Keck, followed by VLT, Subaru, Gemini, and HET. In 2009, each telescope of the Keck, VLT, Gemini, Subaru, and HET observatories produced 135, 109, 93, 107, and 5 refereed papers, respectively. We have shown that each telescope of the Keck, VLT, Gemini, and Subaru observatories is producing 2.1 ± 0.9 Nature and Science papers annually and these papers make up 1.7 ± 0.8% of all refereed papers produced by using each of those telescopes. Extending this relation, we propose that this ratio of the number of Nature and Science papers to the total number of refereed papers that will be produced by future extremely large telescopes (ELTs) will remain similar. From a comparison of the publication trends of the above telescopes, we suggest that (i) having more than one telescope of the same kind at the same location and (ii) increasing the number of instruments available at the telescope are good ways to maximize the paper productivity.

Abstract:
The Fluorescence detector Array of Single-pixel Telescopes (FAST) is a proposed large-area, next-generation experiment for the detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays via the atmospheric fluorescence technique. The telescope’s large field-of-view (30 ×30) is imaged by four 200 mm photomultiplier-tubes at the focal plane of a segmented spherical mirror of 1.6 m diameter. Two prototypes are installed and taking data at the Black Rock Mesa site of the Telescope Array experiment in central Utah, USA. We present the process used for optimization of the optical performance of this compact and low-cost telescope, which is based on a simulation of the telescope’s optical point spread function.

Abstract:
The radio telescopes play a crucial role in astrophysical observations; hence it is necessary to discuss about the significance, structure, and applications of radio telescope and analyse the difference between the state-of-art radio telescopes (FAST and SKA) based on present information. Specifically, the background and present conditions as well as the history of radio telescopes will be introduced initially. Subsequently, the significance of radio telescope will be explained, including structure and application of radio telescopes. Subsequently, the doubts on FAST and SKA and strengths of them will be clarified. Eventually, the problems and limitations about radio telescope and the future prospect will be discussed. Overall, these results shed light on offering suggestions for future development of galaxy and cosmology observations.

Abstract:
Although telescopic spectacles magnify the retinal image and should improve functional vision, many low vision patients are unable to use them. The authors found that involuntary head movements and the reduction of acuity with imposed head motion differentiated successful from unsuccessful telescope users and that success was related to the age at which telescopes were first used.

Abstract:
AbstractOver the past few years, site-testing at the South Pole has revealed conditions that are uniquely favourable for infrared astronomy. In particular, the exceptionally low sky brightness throughout the near and mid-infrared leads to the possibility of a modest-sized telescope achieving comparable sensitivity to that of existing 8–10 metre class telescopes. An 8 metre Antarctic telescope, if constructed, would yield performance that would be unrivalled until the advent of the NGST. In this paper we review the scientific potential of infrared telescopes in Antarctica, and discuss their complementarity with existing 8–10 metre class telescopes and future proposed space telescopes. In particular, we discuss the role that a 2 metre class infrared telescope plays in future plans for the development of an observatory on the Antarctic plateau.

Abstract:
Due to its superb seeing conditions, the Antarctica plateau is widely considered to be an excellent astronomical site. The long periods of uninterrupted darkness at polar sites such as Dome A provide a possibility of continuous observation for more than three months, which is quite suitable for time-domain astronomy. Since 2008, several wide-field optical photometric telescopes, including Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR), two of the Three Antarctic Survey Telescopes (AST3), have been deployed on Dome A. Science with these telescopes covers variable stars, supernovas, exoplanets, etc. For the remoteness of the Antarctic plateau, these telescopes are designed to observe autonomously and operate remotely via satellite communication. As for future plan, Kunlun Dark Universe Survey Telescope (KDUST), a 2.5-meter optic/infrared telescope, is being proposed as one of the two major facilities of Chinese Antarctic Observatory.

Abstract:
VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System), an array of ground-based gamma-ray telescopes in southern Arizona, USA, has been taking data in hardware stereo mode since March, 2006. The April–May 2006 dark run provided a large set of data from two telescopes on the known blazar Markarian (Mrk) 421. An initial analysis produced a light curve and preliminary cuts showing the two telescope array's angular resolution to be 0.19°. The remaining two VERITAS telescopes will be brought online by January, 2007.

Abstract:
The Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) inaugurated the robotic telescopes STELLA-I and STELLA-II (STELLar Activity) on Tenerife on May 18, 2006. The observatory is located on the Izaña ridge at an elevation of 2400 m near the German Vacuum Tower Telescope. STELLA consists of two 1.2 m alt-az telescopes. One telescope fiber feeds a bench-mounted high-resolution echelle spectrograph while the other telescope feeds a wide-field imaging photometer. Both scopes work autonomously by means of artificial intelligence. Not only that the telescopes are automated, but the entire observatory operates like a robot, and does not require any human presence on site.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Cassegrain telescope, made of a concave primary mirror and a convex secondary mirror, is widely utilized for modern astronomical observation. However, the existence of curved mirrors inevitably results in bulky configurations. Here, we propose a new design of the miniaturized Cassegrain telescope by replacing the curved mirrors with planar reflective metasurfaces. The focusing and imaging properties of the Cassegrain metasurface telescopes are experimentally verified for circularly polarized incident light at near infrared wavelengths. The concept of the metasurface telescopes can be employed for applications in telescopes working at infrared, Terahertz, and microwave and even radio frequencies.

Abstract:
The Small Telescopes Installed at the Liverpool Telescope (STILT) have been in operation since March 2009, collecting wide field data from their position, at the Liverpool Telescope on La Palma. The system consists of a set of two wide field imaging cameras, known as SkycamT and SkycamZ. They provide fields of view of 21x210 and Ix 1 0, along with limits of 12th and 18th in R-band magnitude. The work in this thesis describes the methodology used to create an image analysis pipeline and database to store the photometric results contained in the images produced by these cameras. Such a database is capable of providing invaluable data for the study of many stellar and transient sources. The optimisation of the camera software, as well as modifications to the hardware of the cameras are presented, along with a discussion of the imaging methodologies used in the creation of the data pipeline, which involved specific setup for the case of wide field imaging. For the pipeline, the method for photometric calibration and the overall process structure will be presented along with the schema of the database, and the justifications for these choices. Work has also been carried out to define the performance of the system in a photometric, astrometric and computational sense. The resulting datasets contains: SkycamZ SkycamT Images processed 272,470 315,277 Unique Objects observed 6,290,935 21,453,608 Observations 332,735,320 904,033,139 Mean observations per object 53 42

Abstract:
A lo largo de toda nuestra historia, los seres humanos nos hemos esforzado por descifrar los misterios con los que el Universo nos desafía. En nuestros humildes comienzos, esta tarea era realizada con nuestros ojos desnudos, mirando las estrellas y los planetas y preguntándonos qué tan lejos estaban y cómo se movían en el cielo nocturno. Durante muchos siglos, sólo el Universo visible fue accesible para nosotros, pero se obtuvieron logros extraordinarios a pesar de las limitadas herramientas: descubrimos, por ejemplo, que nuestro planeta no era el centro del Universo, gracias a las observaciones de Nicolaus Copernicus y su modelo heliocéntrico. Desde la época de Copernicus hasta ahora, el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías y el avance de nuestra propia comprensión del Cosmos, nos ha permitido desentrañar mucho enigmas. Afortunadamente, esta curiosidad natural que nos lleva a mejorar nunca termina, y nos enfretamos a nuevas preguntas que desafían nuestra capacidad como científicos. En la presente tesis, me centro en una pequeña fracción de esta ciencia: la astronomía de rayos gamma. Dentro de este campo, estudio la aceleraci ón de partículas y los mecanismos de producción de rayos gamma en los jets relativistas de los denominados microcuásares y en shocks producidos en pleriones. En la Parte I de la tesis, presento una introducción al Universo no térmico, profundizando en los mecanismos de producción y absorción que gobiernan la emisión de rayos gamma. También introduzco los telescopios MAGIC, de los cuales se obtiene la mayor parte de los resultados de esta tesis. Otras técnicas de detección, como las empleadas en el Observatorio HAWC o por el satélite Fermi-LAT, son igualmente presentadas dado que sus resultados son empleados en la discusión de fuentes galácticas incluidas en esta tesis. Los logros científicos están incluidos en la Parte II y Parte II. En el primera, discuto los resultados de los tres mejores candidatos microcuásares para emitir rayos gamma a muy altas energías: Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-3 y V404 Cygni. Investigo todos ellos haciendo uso de los datos de MAGIC durante campañas observacionales de larga duración o durante periodos de alta actividad. Por otra parte, con el fin de complementar los resultados a energías más bajas, analizo los datos de Fermi-LAT de Cygnus X-1, lo cual condujo a la detección del sistema en el régime de altas energ ías. Esto constituye la primer detección firme de rayos gamma a altas energías de un sistema binario compuesto por un agujero negro. La Parte III se centra en el estudio de pleriones. Analizo cinco fuentes pertenecientes a esta clase y contextualizo los resultados dentro del estudio de población de pleriones realizado por la Colaboración H.E.S.S.. Haciendo uso de estos resultados, se discute la importancia de la densidad de fotones en el medio circundante junto con las características de los p´ulsares alojado por estos pleriones para la emisión de rayos gamma. En esta tesis, también presento el primer trabajo conjunto entre el Observatorio HAWC y MAGIC, que abre las puertas a futuros proyectos en sinergia. La Parte IV incluye el trabajo técnico realizado durante mi tesis con el futuro CTA. Este trabajo está centrado en el hardware de la cámara de los telescopios de gran tamaño (LST, por sus siglas en inglés) del futuro instrumento CTA, que incluye el control de calidad de varios subsistemas, entre los que descatan los fotomultiplicadores, las fuentes de alimentación y el sistema de trigger. Finalmente, resumo todos los anteriormente mencionados resultados en un capítulo de conclusiones. Todo el trabajo desarrollado durante mi tesis dio lugar a siete publicaciones en revistas científicas: dos ya publicadas, dos aceptadas por la correspondiente revista y tres actualmente bajo revisión de la Colaboración de MAGIC y otras colaboraciones implicadas.
Throughout our entire history, we humans have strived to unravel the mysteries with which the deep Universe challenges us. In our humble beginnings, this task was performed with our naked eyes, by gazing at the stars and planets and wondering how far away they were and how they moved in the night sky. For many centuries, only the visible Universe was reachable for us, but extraordinary achievements were accomplished despite the limited tools: we discovered, for example, that our planet was not the center of the Universe, owing to Nicolaus Copernicus’ observations and his heliocentric model. From Copernicus’ epoch up to now, the development of new technologies and the advancement of our own understanding of the Cosmos, allowed us to disentangle many riddles. Fortunately, this natural curiosity that leads us to improve never ends, and we face new questions that challenge our capacity as scientists. In the present thesis, I focus on a small fraction of this science: the gamma-ray astronomy. Within this field, I study particle acceleration and gamma-ray production mechanisms inside the relativistic jets displayed by the so-called microquasars and the shocks produced in Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe). In Part I of the thesis I present an introduction to the non-thermal Universe, delving into the mechanisms of production and absorption that govern the gamma-ray emission. I also introduce the MAGIC telescopes, from which the bulk of results in this thesis are obtained. Other detection techniques, such as those used by the HAWC Observatory and the Fermi-LAT satellite, are also introduced as results from both of them are used in the discussion of galactic sources included in this thesis. The scientific achievements are encompassed in Part II and Part III. In the former, I discuss results from the three best microquasar candidates to emit Very-High-Energy (VHE) gamma rays: Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-3 and V404 Cygni. I investigate them making use of MAGIC data during long-term campaigns or under flaring periods. Furthermore, in order to complement results at lower energies, I analyze Fermi-LAT data of Cygnus X-1, leading to the detection of the system in the High Energy (HE) regime. This constitutes the first firmly gamma-ray detection on a Black Hole (BH) binary system. Part III is focused on the study of PWNe. I analyze five sources of this type and set the results in the context of the TeV PWN population study performed by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) Collaboration. Along with these results, I discuss the importance of the target photon field together with characteristic features of the pulsars hosted by these PWNe to emit gamma rays. In this thesis, I also present the first joint work between the HAWC Observatory and MAGIC, which opens the door to future synergy projects. In Part IV, I present the technical work performed during my thesis for the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) instrument. I focus on the camera hardware for the Large Size Telescope (LST), working on the Quality Control (QC) for several subsystems, among which the Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs), power supplies and trigger mezzanines stand out. Finally, I summarize all the aforementioned results in a conclusion chapter. All the work developed during my thesis led to seven publications in scientific journals: two of them already published, two accepted by the corresponding journal and three currently under the revision of MAGIC and all implicated collaborations.

Abstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD
The next generation of radio telescopes will revolutionize cosmology by providing large three-dimensional surveys of the universe. This work presents forecasts using the technique 21cm intensity mapping (IM) combined with results from the cosmic microwave background, or mock data of galaxy surveys. First, we discuss prospects of constraining curvature independently of the dark energy (DE) model, finding that the radio instrument HIRAX will reach percent-level accuracy even when an arbitrary DE equation of state is assumed. This is followed by a study of the potential of the multi-tracer technique to surpass the cosmic variance limit, a crucial method to probe primordial non-Gaussianity and large scale general relativistic e↵ects. Using full sky simulations for the Square Kilometre Array phase 1 (SKA 1 MID) and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), including foregrounds, we demonstrate that the cosmic variance contaminated scenario can be beaten even in the noise free case. Finally, we derive the signal to noise ratio for the cosmic magnification signal from foreground HI intensity maps combined with background galaxy count maps. Instruments like SKA1 MID and HIRAX are highly complementary and well suited for this measurement. Thanks to the powerful design of the planned radio instruments, all results confirm their potential and promise an exciting future for cosmology.

Abstract:
Astronomy constantly pushes the limits of technology in order to decipher the workings of the Universe. There is a constant need for higher resolution observations across a wide range of wavelengths, at preferably a minimal cost. The terahertz regime (lambda=100 um to lambda=1000 um) covers a region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is blocked by Earth's atmosphere, which limits observations to high altitude plane and balloon telescopes and space telescopes. These current options limit the resolution achievable due to the size of telescopes that can be launched. This dissertation investigates a new approach, the Large Balloon Reflector (LBR), where a 20 meter diameter spherical balloon can be inflated and used as a 10 meter telescope inside a larger carrier balloon. Detailed in this dissertation are design considerations for the terahertz regime and a series of scaled versions of this balloon concept where I work to develop on-axis spherical corrector designs. Chapters 1 through 6 focus on the LBR designs and their variants, including investigations for a 3 meter rooftop proof of concept model, a 5 meter test flight model, and the final 20 meter LBR. The successful modeling and proof of concepts from the LBR studies then prompted an investigation into a Terahertz Space Telescope (TST), a proposed 20 meter inflatable telescope adapted from the LBR technology. Starting with Chapter7, this dissertation explores the application of using 1 meter diameter inflatable balloons as rapidly deployable communications satellites from standard CubeSats. The concept, design and test results of an electronically steerable line feed antenna array are presented which allows for instantaneous, non mechanical pointing of a 10 GHz signal within a 500 km ground footprint. Alternative uses of the 1 meter inflatable balloon CubeSat are also discussed, such as low cost astronomical galactic plane surveys.

Abstract:
Severement limite par la turbulence atmospherique, les grands telescopes au sol ne sont pas capables d'atteindre leur limite de resolution intrinseque de maniere directe. En fonctionnement normal, ils ne peuvent pas resoudre plus de details, aux longueurs d'ondes du visible et du proche infrarouge qu'un telescope de quelques decimetres de diametre. La technique d'optique adaptative decrite ici, offre l'avantage sur les autres techniques, d'un traitement du front d'onde avant la detection du signal. Lorsque la detection n'est pas limitee par le bruit propre du signal incident ce traitement permet d'ameliorer significativement le rapport signal sur bruit. La correction est realisee par un miroir deformable dont les comandes sont calculees a partir des mesures des perturbations de la surface d'onde. Les limitations de cette instrumentation sont donnees par le nombre d'actuateurs du miroir, la precision de la mesure du front d'onde, liee au flux disponible pour realiser la mesure, et a la bande passante de l'asservissement. Cette bande passante est surtout liee a la frequence d'echantillonnage du signal d'erreur, et a la vitesse de calcul dans la boucle d'asservissement. Nous donnons la description d'un instrument teste en observatoire au cours de l'automne 1989. Le front d'onde corrige au moyen d'un miroir deformable de 19 actuateurs, a permis d'obtenir en temps reel, des images limitees par la diffraction pour des longueurs d'onde superieures a 2,2 m, au foyer coude du telescope de 1,52 m de l'ohp. La mesure de la perturbation est realisee par un analyseur de shack-hartmann de 55 sous-pupilles pour echantillonner le signal a une frequence de 100 hz. La bande passante obtenue est de 9 hz en boucle ouverte a 0 db. Les resultats qui sont presentes illustrent l'interet de cette technique pour l'imagerie infrarouge en astronomie

Abstract:
Galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, can act as gravitational lenses and magnify the light of objects behind them. The effect enables observations of very distant supernovae, that otherwise would be too faint to be detected by existing telescopes, and allows studies of the frequency and properties of these rare phenomena when the universe was young. Under the right circumstances, multiple images of the lensed supernovae can be observed, and due to the variable nature of the objects, the difference between the arrival times of the images can be measured. Since the images have taken different paths through space before reaching us, the time-differences are sensitive to the expansion rate of the universe. One class of supernovae, Type Ia, are of particular interest to detect. Their well known brightness can be used to determine the magnification, which can be used to understand the lensing systems. In this thesis, galaxy clusters are used as gravitational telescopes to search for lensed supernovae at high redshift. Ground-based, near-infrared and optical search campaigns are described of the massive clusters Abell 1689 and 370, which are among the most powerful gravitational telescopes known. The search resulted in the discovery of five photometrically classified, core-collapse supernovae at redshifts of 0.671<z<1.703 with significant magnification from the cluster. Owing to the power of the lensing cluster, the volumetric core-collapse supernova rates for 0.4 ≤ z < 2.9 were calculated, and found to be in good agreement with previous estimates and predictions from cosmic star formation history. During the survey, two Type Ia supernovae in A1689 cluster members were also discovered, which allowed the Type Ia explosion rate in galaxy clusters to be estimated. Furthermore, the expectations of finding lensed supernovae at high redshift in simulated search campaigns that can be conducted with upcoming ground- and space-based telescopes, are discussed. Magnification from a galaxy lens also allows for detailed studies of the supernova properties at high redshift that otherwise would not be possible. Spectroscopic observations of lensed high-redshift supernovae Type Ia are of special interest since they can be used to test for evolution of the standard candle nature of these objects. If systematic redshift-dependent properties are found, their utility for future surveys could be challenged. In the thesis it is shown that the strongly lensed and very distant supernova Type Ia PS1-10afx at z=1.4, does not deviate from the well-studied nearby and intermediate populations of normal supernovae Type Ia. In a different study, the discovery of the first resolved multiply-imaged gravitationally lensed supernova Type Ia is also reported.

At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Manuscript. Paper 4: Manuscript.

Abstract:
Astronomers use telescopes to study the universe in the different spectrum regions. The dimensions of telescopes, to research in the millimeter region, are too big. Thus, fabrication of such instruments is a challenge work. The “Gran Telescopio Milimétrico (Large Millimeter Telescope, which will be called LMT) is a Cassegrain Telescope, which diameter of the primary reflector is 50 meters and the subreflector is a hyperbolic surface which diameter is 2.57 meters, and it is been developed to observe in the millimeter region. The subrelector surface must be fabricated with an accuracy of 13 µm (rms). Furthermore, the subreflector must achieve the so-called wobbling, meaning that the subreflector cannot be so heavy, but enough stiff to be wobbled. In this work, we describe the fabrication technique for the subreflector.

Abstract:
While the effect of mirror and dome temperatures on seeing quality has been the subject of several recent laboratory experiments (1,2,3), no data from working telescope systems has been published. In this paper, I present data collected on telescopes of two different designs located at the Maui Space Surveillance Site located near the 10,000 foot summit of Haleakala Volcano on Maui, HI. The 1.6 meter aperture AMOS telescope is a closed tube Cassegrain design which tends to trap mirror generated turbulence and channel it along the telescope line of site. The 1.2 meter aperture MOTIF telescope is an open truss Cassegrain design with a short tube which extends about 1 meter above the mirror. The telescopes are housed in separate 15 meter domes located about 50 meters apart.

Abstract:
The evaluation and control of atmospheric turbulence in the upper atmosphere and around the telescope environment are growing concerns, since these are the last limiting factors in improving the imaging quality of large ground based telescopes. The adaptive optics is naturally a recent topical dynamic approach to control the optical wavefront aberration using a real time servo system. Another line of pains-taking efforts have been made to improve the thermal environment more favorable to telescopes. They are, for example, 1) reducing the thermal mass and thermal time constant of mirrors, telescope structure, and dome structure, 2) removing unneseccary heat sources and cooling the dome against daylight heating, 3) flushing the trapped warm air inside the telescope enclosure, and so on.

Abstract:
Adaptive optics is one of the main features of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The VLT consists of an array of four 8 meter telescopes arranged in a quadrilateral configuration (see Figure 1). These four telescopes can be operated individually, in a so-called incoherent combined mode (mainly for high resolution spectroscopy), and in a coherently combined mode as a long baseline interferometer to achieve highest spatial resolution in the milliarcsecond range. In order to increase the performance and flexibility in use of the VLT in the interferometric mode, two to four mobile telescopes of the two meter class will be added to the array. Each telescope will be equipped with adaptive optics systems for real-time correction of atmospheric turbulence effects.

Abstract:
SALTUS (Single Aperture Large Telescope for Universe Studies) is a mid/far-infrared telescope concept utilizing a 20-m scale inflatable mirror antenna. The light-weight mirror utilizes a membrane architecture that has been developed and characterized specifically for space-based applications. The telescope's end-to-end optical design and optimization process unleashes the unprecedented photon collecting power of a large space aperture. A series of inflatable mirror prototypes have been designed, manufactured, and tested. These tests confirmed the optical performance of the apertures under space-like conditions. This paradigm changing approach will allow the realization of a new generation of space telescopes far larger than can be achieved utilizing conventional technologies.

Abstract:
The incorporation of adaptive optics in large astronomical telescopes to provide diffraction limited imaging promises to revolutionize ground based optical astronomy in the next decade. The gains are especially impressive for large aperture telescopes where the large increase in diameter D results both in a decrease of the area of the telescope point spread function proportional to D2 and in an increase in collected photons within that smaller area of D2. The availability of adaptive optics will thus pay off handsomely in many astronomical uses of large telescopes.

Abstract:
The present decade is an unprecedented period of expansion in the collective power of ground-based optical and infrared telescopes worldwide. No fewer than 13 telescopes between 6.5 m and 10 m in diameter--all larger than the most powerful telescope available before 1990--will be completed by roughly the year 2000. Some of these telescopes are designed with specific scientific goals in mind, such as high-resolution infrared imaging and spectroscopy, while others are multi-purpose instruments designed to serve the needs of an astronomical community whose observations have been limited by collecting area and resolving power for several decades. The projects are listed below.

Abstract:
The SERTS-A and SERTS-C solar telescopes are examples of Wolter Type II glancing incidence telescopes built for flight1,2 on sounding rockets to study active regions on the sun in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength range 24-45 nm. Improvements in computer-controlled polishing technology at GSFC have led to the SERTS-C telescope which has substantially improved throughput and angular resolution in that wavelength range over the earlier SERTS-A. While both telescopes are diffraction-limited in the visible, preventing an obvious selection of the better telescope for flight, laboratory results in the far ultraviolet were used to make the selection and flight data are shown to illuminate these advances.

Abstract:
The Gemini 8-Meter Telescopes are being designed to deliver near diffraction limited images at infrared wavelengths to the focal plane. This will be achieved with a combination of innovative telescope design, a fully active control system and a natural guide star adaptive optics (AO) system for the Mauna Kea Telescope. An overview of how the Gemini Adaptive Optics System works in concert with the active systems employed on the Gemini telescopes is given. Extensive trades have been made in determining the mix of sensors to support both active and adaptive operation. The current concept of how the systems will work in concert is presented here.
