Extractions: Telescopes Most of what we know about the Universe comes from information that has been carried to us by light. But we have seen that visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In recent years the remainder of the electromagnetic spectrum has revealed extensive information about our Universe. NRAO 140 Foot Telescope The first non-visual spectral region that was used extensively for astronomical observations was the radio frequency band. Telescopes observing at these wavelengths are commonly called radio telescopes . Although they do not look like optical telescopes, radio telescopes are built to accomplish the same gathering and focussing tasks on radio frequency radiation that reflecting telescopes perform on visual frequency light. The adjacent image shows the 140 foot antenna of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia. Radio telescopes are used for many purposes, but let us describe two here explicitly: the mapping of neutral hydrogen concentrations using the 21 centimeter spin-flip transition in hydrogen, and the use of multiple radio telescopes operated as if they were a single telescope of very high resolution. A neutral hydrogen atom (H I) consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The proton and electron spin like tops with their spin axes either parallel or anti-parallel. When hydrogen atoms switch from the parallel to the anti-parallel configuration they emit radio waves with a wavelength of 21 centimeters and a corresponding frequency of exactly 1420 MHz. This is called the

http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/light/reflecting.html

Extractions: Telescopes In the preceding section we saw how to use refraction by lenses to design a telescope. We may also use reflection from mirrors to accomplish the same purpose. The following figure illustrates the principle of reflection: the angle of incidence (measured from the perpendicular to the reflecting surface) is equal to the angle of reflection. The right side of the figure illustrates the use of a mirror to make a reflecting telescope. Principle of reflection and the reflecting telescope Here is a Java applet illustrating the use of a mirror (a diverging or convex mirror in this case) to form an image. For technical reasons, the largest optical telescopes are reflecting rather than refracting telescopes: it is easier to build and support large mirrors of high optical quality than large lenses. One problem that must be surmounted with a reflecting telescope is how to place an observer at the focus. In the example shown above, the focus is inside the telescope. This is called the prime focus , and in some large telescopes observations can be made at the prime focus. More commonly, various mirror arrangements are used to transport the light from the focus to an external observer. Two common ones are a

http://www.maa.mhn.de/Scholar/telescopes.html

Extractions: This set of notes by Nick Strobel covers: the basics of telescopes and effects of the atmosphere on images. Vocabulary terms are italicized. Telescopes instruments used to gather and focus light. Visible and large parts of radio spectrum can be observed anywhere on ground; small parts of infrared (IR) must be observed above water layer in atmosphere (elevations of 2750 m (9000 ft) or above); gamma-rays, X-rays, UV, most IR, and rest of radio must be observed in space. The part collecting the light is called the objective. Refractor use lens to bend light. First ones built. Disadvantages: a) Chromatic Aberration redder colors bent less than blue colors so see rainbow of colors around the image. Use multiple compensating lenses to counteract this OR have really long objective focal length to minimize effect (see drawing). This is why the early refracting telescopes were made very long. b) Support for lens only at ends of lens. Tends to sag under own weight. 40 inches is maximum size of refracting objective built. Reflector use mirror to reflect light. All modern research ones are this type. Advantages: a) No chromatic aberration. b) Support for objective all along one side so they can be BIG! Parabollic-shaped mirror focuses all parallel light rays to single point (remember that celestial objects are so far away that all the light rays from an object hit the Earth as parallel rays). Focus is before the eyepiece, so the image in astronomical telescopes (even with the refractor above) is upside down. Terrestrial-viewing telescopes use other lenses to re-invert the image right-side up.
