We report the development of MuSCAT3, a four channel simultaneous imager installed on the 2m Faulkes Telescope North at Haleakala Observatory on Maui, Hawai'i. MuSCAT3 has a capability of 4-color simultaneous imaging in g (400-550 nm), r (550-700 nm), i (700-820 nm), and z s (820-920 nm) bands with four independent 2048×2048 pixel CCDs, each having

WEAVE is a new wide-field multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) facility proposed for the prime focus of the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope. The facility comprises a new 2-degree field-of-view Prime Focus Corrector (PFC) with a 1000-multiplex fibre positioner, a small number of individually deployable integral field units, and a large single integral

The Tenerife Microwave Spectrometer (TMS) is part of a renewed effort to study and characterize the CMB frequency distribution. The spectrometer is based on a pseudo-correlation architecture with two 10-20 GHz radiometer chains making use of both orthogonal linear polarizations, and will observe in this band with an angular and frequency

GroundBIRD is a millimeter-wave telescope to observe the polarization patterns of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The target science topics are primordial gravitational waves from cosmic inflation and reionization optical depth. Therefore, this telescope is designed to achieve the highest sensitivity at large angular scales, l = 6 - 300. For

Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2) was a sounding rocket experiment, which is a follow-up mission to the Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP1) in 2015. To measure the magnetic fields in the upper solar atmosphere in a highly quantitative manner, CLASP2 changes the target wavelengths from the hydrogen Ly-α line (121

Multiconjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) systems have the potential to deliver diffraction-limited images over much larger fields of view than traditional single conjugate adaptive optics systems. In MCAO, the high altitude deformable mirrors (DMs) cause a distortion of the pupil plane and lead to a dynamic misregistration between the DM actuators and
