Detector Technology

Photon counting detector technology allows high time resolution spectroscopy on sources such as pulsars and cataclysmic variables. Here we report on first observing trials on Cvs in a high time resolution mode undertaken with the MIC photon counting detector (Fordham et al. 2000) on the 2.1m telescope at San Pedro Martir Observatory.

The new detector MEPSICRON (microchannel electron position sensor with time resolution) is an image photomultiplier sensor for high spatial and time resolution, working in a photon counting regime. It has been especially designed for deep sky photometric pictures, for high resolution spectrophotometry with single or crossed dispersion spectrographs for long slit spectroscopic techniques, for high time resolution pictures and spectrophotometry especially related with speckles techniques and very fast varying sources as pulsars, and for Fabry-Pérot interferometry.

AbstractWe describe very high-time-resolution photometers capable of tagging the arrival time of each photon with a resolution and accuracy of few hundred picoseconds, for hours of continuous acquisition, and with a dynamic range of more than 6 orders of magnitude. The final goal is the conceptual definition of a “quantum” photometer for the E-ELT, capable of detecting and measuring second-order correlation effects in photon streams from celestial sources. Two prototype units have been built and operated, one for the Asiago 1.8-m telescope (AquEYE) and one for the 3.5-m NTT (IquEYE).Here we will present results obtained by IquEYE on the Crab Nebula pulsar in simultaneous radio observations with Jodrell Bank in December 2009.

AbstractThis paper deals with a possibility to use the ground-based method of observation in order to solve basic problems connected with the solar corona research. Namely:1.heating of the solar corona2.course of the global cycle in the corona3.rotation of the solar corona and development of active regions.There is stressed a possibility of high-time resolution of the coronal line photometer at Lomnický Peak coronal station, and use of the latter to obtain crucial observations.
