Back-Propagating the Light of Field Stars to Probe Telescope Mirrors Aberrations

Michaël Unser, Frédéric Courbin, Ferréol Arnaud Marie Soulez

We propose a wavefront-based method to estimate the PSF over the whole field of view. This method estimate the aberrations of all the mirrors of the telescope using only field stars. In this proof of concept paper, we described the method and present some ...

The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part II: A performance study using observations of the Crab Nebula

MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Canary island of La Palma, Spain. During summer 2011 and 2012 it underwent a series of upgrades, involving the exchange of the MAGIC-I camera and its trigger system, as well a ...

ARE ULTRA-FAINT GALAXIES AT z=6-8 RESPONSIBLE FOR COSMIC REIONIZATION? COMBINED CONSTRAINTS FROM THE HUBBLE FRONTIER FIELDS CLUSTERS AND PARALLELS

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Mathilde Jauzac, Johan Richard

We use deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the Frontier Fields to accurately measure the galaxy rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity function (UV LF) in the redshift range z similar to 6-8. We combine observations in three lensing clusters, A2744, MACS 041 ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XIV. Time delay of the doubly lensed quasar SDSS J1001+5027

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

This paper presents optical R-band light curves and the time delay of the doubly imaged gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1001+5027 at a redshift of 1.838. We have observed this target for more than six years, between March 2005 and July 2011, using the ...

Design and operation of FACT - the first G-APD Cherenkov telescope

Mathieu Ribordy, Werner Lustermann, Thomas Günther Bretz, Camille Haller

The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is designed to detect cosmic gamma-rays with energies from several hundred GeV up to about 10 TeV using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique. In contrast to former or existing telescopes, the camera of the ...

Large Micromirror Array Based on a Scalable Technology for Astronomical Instrumentation

Michael David Canonica

Understanding the formation of galaxies and studying the expansion of the Universe, need the spectral characterization of faint astronomical objects such as stars or galaxies. From these spectra, the distance, the velocity and the chemical composition of t ...

Searches for dark matter annihilation signatures in the Segue 1 satellite galaxy with the MAGIC-I telescope

Thomas Günther Bretz

We report the results of the observation of the nearly satellite galaxy Segue 1 performed by the MAGIC-I ground-based gamma-ray telescope between November 2008 and March 2009 for a total of 43.2 hours. No significant gamma-ray emission was found above the ...

Astrophysical applications of gravitationally lensed quasars : from dark matter halos to the structure of quasar accretion disks

Alexander Patrick Eigenbrod

Gravitational lensing describes how light is deflected as it passes in the vicinity of a mass distribution. The amplitude of the deflection is proportional to the mass of the deflector, called "gravitational lens", and is generally weak, even for large mas ...

Gravitational lenses : time delays and the Hubble constant

Christel Vuissoz

The Hubble constant H0 is one of the most important parameters in cosmology, as it encodes the age of the Universe and is necessary for any distance determination at a cosmological scale. It is, however, only poorly constrained by traditional methods. The ...

The Random Trip Model: Stability, Stationary Regime, and Perfect Simulation The Random Trip Model: Stability, Stationary Regime, and Perfect Simulation

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

We define "random trip", a generic mobility model for random, independent node motions, which contains as special cases: the random waypoint on convex or nonconvex domains, random walk on torus, billiards, city section, space graph, intercity and other mod ...
