Conceptual design of a 50m telescope with large-aperture and wide-field for optical and infrared surveys
We present a conceptual design for a novel next-generation 50m aperture telescope, the Spherical Wide-field Extremely Large Telescope (SWELT), optimized for both wide-field spectroscopic surveys and high-precision photometric observations in the optical and infrared bands. To achieve the very large aperture with a larg...
