The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

... As a result of this discovery, it is possible to contemplate an instrumental extension which results in the recovery of a major portion of lost resolution due to the blurring effects of the PSF. Implementation of the instrumental extension and the resulting resolution enhancement is independent of prior knowledge of or access to the observed data. The method is applied to HST images as well as several one dimensional spectral data sets. ... Image and Spectrum Recovery . ...

Superconducting Integrated Submm Spectrometer for Laboratory Applications Specification: · Input frequency range : 200 ­ 700 GHz (covered by four exchangeable sensor modules each one covering range of about 100-150 GHz ); · Output frequency (IF) range : 1-2 GHz · Receiver noise temperature: below 500 K (direct ... The SIR chip is a superconducting integrated circuit comprising a quantum-noise-limited SIS mixer and a tunable Josephson local oscillator (LO). ...

... The substepping technique is used for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging to cope with the problem of undersampling and to improve resolution. ... For the HST, undersampling means that the size of the pixel in a camera is larger than the critical value determined by the optics of the telescope, and aliasing takes place. ... Sampling is an operation to integrate a ( x ) within a pixel, and to assign the result to this pixel (Figure 1 A). ... Figure 1: Substepping ( N =2) and normal sampling. ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...
