We present the details of a proposed microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) for the DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Turkish) telescope, DAG-MKID. The observatory will have a modern 4m size telescope that is currently under construction. Current plan to obtain the first light with the telescope is late 2019. The proposed MKID based instrument will enable astronomers to simultaneously detect photons in the relatively wide wavelength range of 4000 - 13500 ˚A with a timing accuracy of µs and spectral resolution R = λ/∆λ = 10 − 25. With a planned field of view of approximately an arcminute, DAG-MKID will mostly be used for follow-up observations of transient or variable objects as well as a robust tool to measure photometric redshifts of a large number of galaxies or other extra-galactic objects.

A study of cosmic ray secondaries induced by the Mir space station using AMS-01
Aguilar, M; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-01)
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a high energy particle physics experiment that will study cosmic rays in the similar to 100 MeV to 1 TeV range and will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years. A first version of AMS-02, AMS-01, flew aboard the space shuttle Discovery from June 2 to June 12, 1998, and collected 108 cosmic ray triggers. Part of the Mir space station was within the AMS-01 field of view during the four day Mir docking phase of this flight. We have ...
The design of an adaptive optics telescope : the case of DAG
Jolissaint, Laurent; KESKİN, ONUR; Zago, Lorenzo; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Mudry, Emeric; Lousberg, Gregory (2016-07-01)
In this paper, we describe in detail the optical design of DAG, a new 4 m telescope for Turkey. DAG is an ”adaptive optics friendly” telescope, in a sense that each design decision is taken considering the potential impact on the AO performance (vibrations, static aberrations etc.) The objective is to make this telescope fully ready for AO at first light. It is designed as a Ritchey-Chr´etien combination, 56 m focal length, with Nasmyth foci only, and active optics. Its total RMS error is expected to be 45 ...
Calibration of cameras of the HESS detector
Aharonian, F; et. al. (2004-11-01)
H.E.S.S.-the high energy stereoscopic system-is a new system of large atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for GeV/ TeV astronomy. Each of the four telescopes of 107 m(2) mirror area is equipped with a 960-pixel photomultiplier-tube camera. This paper describes the methods used to convert the photomultiplier signals into the quantities needed for Cherenkov image analysis. Two independent calibration techniques have been applied in parallel to provide an estimation of uncertainties. Results on the long-term stab...
Project Management of DAG: Eastern Anatolia Observatory
KESKİN, ONUR; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Zago, Lorenzo; Guver, Tolga; Alis, Sinan (2016-06-28)
The four meter DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Turkish) telescope is not only the largest telescope in Turkey but also the most promising telescope in the northern hemisphere with a large potential to offer scientific observations with its cutting edge technology. DAG is designed to be an AO telescope which will allow both infrared and visible observations with its two Nasmyth platforms dedicated to next generation focal plane instruments. In this paper, status updates from DAG telescope will be presen...
THE TRANSITION RADIATION DETECTOR OF THE AMS-2 EXPERIMENT
Demirköz, Melahat Bilge (2002-11-01)
The AMS magnetic spectrometer will be installed on the International Space Station ISS to measure the properties of cosmic rays in the range of 1 to 1000 GeV during a mission of three years. A Transition Radiation Detector is used in combination with an electromagnetic calorimeter to reach a rejection of 10(-6) protons against positrons up to an energy of 300 GeV. This allows to search for cosmic cold dark matter through their decay products.
