In total, SO will field over 60,000 bolometers in six spectral bands centered between 27 and 280 GHz. The SATs are designed to target the primordial B-mode polarization signal. The SATs adopt a three metamaterial anti-reflection coated Silicon lens refractor design each with a 42 cm aperture and 35 degree field-of-view. We discuss the optics design development and optimization process of the SAT refractor system and warm baffling.","PeriodicalId":381085,"journal":{"name":"Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes VIII","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130668670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this image, we used the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique at the wavelength of 1.3 mm (frequency of 230 GHz) with utilizing eight millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength telscopes all over the world. For the interferometry, the distance between two telescopes (i.e., baseline length) decides the angular resolution. The EHT telescopes extends near the diameter of the Earth, so together with the short wavelength, it is possible to reach the angular resolution of about 25 micro-arcsec. This resolution is sufficient to image the shadows of nearby supermassive black holes (SMBHs), and indeed, we have succeessfully imaged the shadow of the SMBH at the center of the nearby giant elliptical galaxy M87. In this talk, I will give an overview of the technologies we have used in the EHT 2017 campaign, and also present the plans of the future development.","PeriodicalId":381085,"journal":{"name":"Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes VIII","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127589950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The observatory will consist of two arrays, one located in the southern hemisphere (Paranal, Chile) and the other in the northern hemisphere (Canary Island, Spain), covering the whole sky in the range of observation. More than 100 telescopes are planned to be in operation for as long as 30 years, which motivated the development of a continuous condition monitoring of the individual telescopes. The main goal of the monitoring is to detect degradation and failures before critical damages occur. Two approaches are considered: the structure monitoring system, in which the Eigenfrequencies of the telescope and their damping rates are measured and monitored; and the drive monitoring, in which the power spectra of rotating components are measured during telescope movements. The structure monitoring concept system was applied to the prototype Medium Size telescope (MST) prototype of CTA in Berlin during late 2018 and in 2019, and the first results are presented here. The system showed reasonable stability during periods, in which the telescope structure was unchanged. The system was also capable to detect mechanical changes, e.g. varying tension in the steel ropes of the camera support structure. The successful implementation of the structure monitoring system supports the decision of implementing the system in all future MSTs.","PeriodicalId":381085,"journal":{"name":"Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes VIII","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129897843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
