A Chiang Mai research collaboration joining extragalactic astronomy with astronomical instrumentation and ultra-precision optics.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The homepage maps a complete research workflow rather than presenting astronomy and engineering as separate departments: observations feed analysis, analysis informs instruments, and measured optics return to telescope use. Named facilities include the 2.4-m TNT, the 0.7-m Thai Robotic Telescope network, and the SPDT line, which the page describes as supporting five-axis diamond turning, interferometry, coating, and cryogenic testing. The site also lists CoLoRS, LRS, and ARRAKIHS mission simulations.
