Converging Elements in the Development of Late Seventeenth-Century Disciplinary Astronomy: Instrumentation, Education, and the Hevelius-Hooke Controversy
… by analyzing the nature of observation and instrumentation within an institutional and social context. I argue that astronomical practice was transformed by the convergence of several overlapping factors including the deployment of new instruments, the mathematical and astronomical education …

High-Precision Stress Measurement in Thin Films for X-Ray Mirrors
… optics technology will enable the X-ray astronomy instrumentation community to create such an observatory. The light-weighted silicon mirrors used in meta-shell optics have a low stiffness which makes them susceptible to deformations caused by stress in their reflective coatings. Much …

Ion implantation for figure correction of high-resolution x-ray telescope mirrors
… telescopes continues to challenge the x-ray astronomy instrumentation community. Building a large-aperture telescope requires thin, lightweight mirrors; due to the very low stiffness of thin mirrors, these are difficult to fabricate, coat, and mount, while achieving and maintaining the …

Prototyping Blue Phase Wavefront Correctors for Astronomical Adaptive Optics
… optics is a technique developed in the field of astronomy for the correction of aberrations introduced by the atmosphere when observing stars, planets and deep sky objects using telescopes based on Earth. This correction is usually applied with deformable mirrors, which have the benefit of being …

Factors That Affect the Global Positioning System and Global Navigation Satellite System in an Urban and Forested Environment.
<p>The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy in real time measurements acquired from GPS and GLONASS satellite observations using RTK techniques in an urban and forested environment. To determine this accuracy, 2 data sets of 3-dimensional coordinates were created and compared at 14 …
