Performance of the MALTA telescope

Edoardo Charbon, Francesco Piro, Abhishek Sharma

MALTA is part of the Depleted Monolithic Active Pixel sensors designed in Tower 180 nm CMOS imaging technology. A custom telescope with six MALTA planes has been developed for test beam campaigns at SPS, CERN, with the ability to host several devices under ...

NEMTO: Neural Environment Matting for Novel View and Relighting Synthesis of Transparent Objects

We propose NEMTO, the first end-to-end neural render- ing pipeline to model 3D transparent objects with complex geometry and unknown indices of refraction. Commonly used appearance modeling such as the Disney BSDF model cannot accurately address this chall ...

Multi-object spectroscopic operations with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V

Ricardo Jorge Araùjo Pereira, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Loïc Grossen

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) is an all-sky spectroscopic survey of more than 6 million objects, designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, reveal the inner workings of stars, investigate the origin of solar systems, and track the growth of ...

Near-field phase profile and far-field contrast modulation for micro-lens arrays at the refraction limit

Toralf Scharf, Maryam Yousefi, Daniel Necesal

We investigate the far-field pattern generation for a micro-lens array (MLA) illuminated under different conditions. Plane wave and Gaussian beam illumination are considered for an MLA with a small diameter of 27 microns and 30 microns period. At these dim ...

COSMOGRAIL: XIX. Time delays in 18 strongly lensed quasars from 15 years of optical monitoring star

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Eric Gérard Guy Paic, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Hung-Hsu Chan, Malte Tewes, Vivien François Bonvin, Rémy Elie Joseph, Olga Tihhonova

We present the results of 15 years of monitoring lensed quasars, which was conducted by the COSMOGRAIL programme at the Leonhard Euler 1.2 m Swiss Telescope. The decade-long light curves of 23 lensed systems are presented for the first time. We complement ...

Precision Positioning of Microrobots for Multi-Object Spectrographs

Luzius Gregor Kronig

How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...

Specification of aspherical surfaces used as refractive elements in micro-optical systems

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

The optical performance of refractive plano-convex microlenses is mainly related to the quality of their (a)spherical surface. An efficient tolerancing of this surface is a key step towards the manufacturing of high quality microlenses. However, we demonst ...

Plano-concave mini-lens array for plenoptic imaging applications

Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso

An array of plano-concave mini-lenses is designed to realize a particular version of Light Field camera known as Plenoptic Camera 1.2. The Delano diagram related to the on-axis optical channel of such a camera is computed to show its retro-focus behavior a ...

Low-dimensional data embedding for scalable astronomical imaging in the SKA telescope era

Vijay Kartik

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences known to humanity. We have been studying celestial objects for millennia, and continue to peer deeper into space in our thirst for knowledge about our origins and the universe that surrounds us. Radio astronomy -- ob ...

Aberrations analysis of a Focused Plenoptic Camera

Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso

A Focused Plenoptic Camera in Galilean configuration is studied and its aberrations behavior is interpreted with the Nodal Aberration Theory (NAT). Sequential ray tracing is applied to individual optical channels constituted by the camera objective and ind ...
