天文学是一门涉及外星观测的自然科学。该领域研究近地物体和其他天文现象,以帮助找到宇宙起源的答案,了解我们的太阳系和星系,并发现物质定律。天文学使用各种成像技术,例如太阳成像和光谱学,来研究太阳的活动和地球上方发生极光的大气层等领域。基于图像传感器和相机的成像技术在世界各地被用于望远镜中。
大型望远镜用于观测外行星和原行星系,旨在寻找生命迹象,并通过直接测量宇宙膨胀来研究暗能量的性质。
全世界许多地方均已安装了各种大型望远镜并用于观察太空,例如夏威夷大岛莫纳克亚山顶的斯巴鲁望远镜、三十米望远镜 (TMT)、凯克望远镜和双子座望远镜;智利阿塔卡马沙漠的阿尔玛望远镜;以及加那利群岛拉帕尔马岛上的加纳利大望远镜等。

斯巴鲁望远镜是一款大型国家级光学/红外望远镜,位于夏威夷岛莫纳克亚山顶。它是世界上最强大的望远镜之一,用于研究宇宙膨胀的历史和测量暗能量。
我们的图像传感器安装在斯巴鲁望远镜的主焦相机中。此外,我们的图像传感器还将安装在光谱仪中,该光谱仪于 2024 年开始运行;我们的 CMOS 相机还将安装在 ULTIMATE-Subaru(用于超越性探索 (Transcendent Exploration) 的超宽激光断层成像仪和带 AO 的 MOS)自适应光学系统的波前传感器中,该系统将于 2027 年开始运行.
使用地面望远镜进行天文观测时,会受到由气温差异和风引起的大气湍流的极大影响,从而导致恒星图像失真。自适应光学技术是一种通过立即校正受干扰的波面,在望远镜的性能极限范围内获得最清晰、最无失真的恒星图像的方法。为了实现实时和高精度的波前校正,用于测量波前湍流的相机必须具备快速读出性能和高分辨率。此外,相机还必须具有高灵敏度,因为在光子数很低的情况下,如较暗的物体或激光人造星,可能需要进行波前校正。
*这些图像中出现或不出现大面积红斑的原因是观测时间点不同。这并不是自适应光学技术造成的。
使用自适应光学技术之后有了新的发现。在没有使用自适应光学技术的图像中,由于类星体的颜色完全相同,因此被认为是单个类星体。然而,使用自适应光学技术后,两个独立的类星体清晰地显现出来。此外,在这两个类星体之间还出现了一个星系。
太阳对地球有很大的影响。在我们努力了解地球和太阳之间的因果关系时,对太阳活动加以成像和了解(例如研究太阳黑子和磁场运动生成耀斑的情况)变得越来越重要。为了密切跟踪太阳耀斑的内部结构及其随时间的变化,需要同时达到高分辨率、高速和高动态范围的探测器。

上层大气是 80 至 400 km 高处的大气层。该高度对应于地球大气和外太空之间的边界区域。大气的这一部分处于离子化的等离子体状态。由于等离子体与大气之间的相互作用,在南北极产生了极光。这一高度会在夜间产生微弱的大气光。高灵敏度、高分辨率和高速相机可以测量上层大气的动态。
