Maunakea is one of the world's primary sites for astronomical observing, with multiple telescopes operating over sub-millimeter to optical wavelengths. With its summit higher than 4200 meters above sea level, Maunakea is an ideal location for astronomy with an historically dry, stable climate and minimal turbulence above the summit. Under a changin...

This paper presents a thorough experimental and numerical investigation into the structural behaviour of a novel cold-formed steel (CFS) telescopic stud system under axial compression. A total of 40 specimens were tested, considering variations in screw configurations, steel grades, and section thicknesses. The test results revealed that tilting an...

Lagrangian points are essentially points in space with a certain equilibrium, where satellites or observation telescopes can be parked in a more or less stable orbit. The determination of these Lagrange points corresponds to the three-body gravitational problem, which is difficult to solve analytically. For the points L1 and L2, however, a certain...

In the simulation and tolerance analysis of mirror-based optical systems, the magnitude distribution of the surface shape error of each mirror must be established under certain values. Thus, in this study, several large-diameter meter-scale spherical mirrors were statistically processed, and a surface shape error model was constructed to control th...

Far-infrared (far-IR) astrophysics missions featuring actively cooled telescopes will offer orders of magnitude observing speed improvement at wavelengths where galaxies and forming planetary systems emit most of their light. The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA), which is currently under study, emphasizes low- and moderate-resolu...
