Comparative study of the accuracy of various sun-tracking schemes.
Abstract
Various schemes of sun-trackers for solar telescopes are discussed, and the achievable accuracies are estimated. With an application to space-borne telescopes in mind, only photon noise and solar brightness inhomogeneities are considered as sources of disturbance to the tracking, and no seeing effects are considered.
