Статьям присваивается DOIThe Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation (JAI) publishes papers describing instruments and components being proposed, developed, under construction and in use. JAI also publishes papers that describe facility operations, lessons learned in design, construction, and operation, algorithms and their implementations, and techniques, including calibration, that are fundamental elements of instrumentation. The journal focuses on astronomical instrumentation topics in all wavebands (Radio to Gamma-Ray) and includes the disciplines of Heliophysics, Space Weather, Lunar and Planetary Science, Exoplanet Exploration, and Astroparticle Observation (cosmic rays, cosmic neutrinos, etc.).
Concepts, designs, components, algorithms, integrated systems, operations, data archiving techniques and lessons learned applicable but not limited to the following platforms are pertinent to this journal. Example topics are listed below each platform, and it is recognized that many of these topics are relevant to multiple platforms.
Relevant platforms include:
Ground-based observatories
Telescopes (including components, integrated systems, and structures)
Telescope arrays (e.g., radio, optical, infrared, and very high energy gamma-rays)
Adaptive optics
Focal plane instrumentation (e.g., detectors and receivers, cameras, and spectrometers)
Correlators and pulsar backends
Realtime and post-realtime calibration schemes
Infrastructure
Operations
Stratospheric aircraft
Optical systems
Alignment techniques
Systems interface and integration
On-board processing algorithms
Data compression schemes
Environmental enclosures
Balloons and suborbital rockets
Telescopes and assemblies
