Searching for gravitational wave events counterparts in x-rays by tilting the multiple shells of Wolter-I optics

John Rankin, Daniele Spiga, P. Conconi, Sergio Campana et autres

Current X-ray telescopes have a combination of field of view and angular resolution unsuitable to accurately localize the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events. This will become increasingly important when the LIGO and Virgo experiments will work at full sensitivity, when the …

Structural, thermal, and optical tolerance analysis of SHARP, a near-infrared spectrograph for the next-generation telescope

Hossein Mahmoodzadeh, P. Saracco, Ivan Di Antonio, P. Conconi et autres

The design and verification of cryogenic near-infrared spectrographs require rigorous multidisciplinary analyses to ensure optical performance under realistic operational conditions. In this work, we present a structural–thermal–optical performance (STOP) analysis of the SHARP instrument, a multi-mode spectrograph designed for use with upcoming …

Study of lobster and Kirkpatrick-Baez designs for a small mission dedicated to gravitational wave transient localization

John M. Rankin, Sergio Campana, Giovanni Pareschi, Daniele Spiga et autres

The localization of X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave events requires a telescope with accurate localization capability in a field of view comparable to the region constrained by the gravitational wave detectors. In the context of a small, dedicated, mission, we investigate which …

Conceptual opto-mechanical design of SHARP: a near-infrared multi-mode spectrograph conceived for the next-generation telescopes

Hossein Mahmoodzadeh, P. Saracco, P. Conconi, Bortolino Saggin et autres

The next generation of Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their wide apertures and advanced multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) systems, will provide unprecedented sharp and deep observations, even surpassing the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope. SHARP, a near-infrared (0.95 to 2.45 …

MUCH: An Imaging Cerenkov Telescope for Volcano Muography

O. Catalano, M. Capalbi, G. Contino, P. Conconi et autres

In the last decades, several attempts have been made to investigate internal structures of large bodies, such as volcanoes, with transmission muography. High spatial resolution and reduction of the strong background noise, due to protons, electrons, and scattered low-energy muons, are the …
