Imaging with hexagonal segmented mirror

الملخص EN

Different hexagons configuration aperture models of the optical telescope mirror is carefully considered in this study .

The point spread function and the modulation transfe r function of a referenc e star using different hexagons configuration are c ompute d and the quantitative asse ssment for the results are described.

It has been shown that the height of the point spre ad func tion decreases rapidly when the area of the circular aperture of the optical telescope is 18 times the area of the individual hexagon to be arrange to fill this ape rture .

No signific ant change has been noticed as the area of the this aperture exceeds 121 times the area of the individual hexagon.
