Cosmology with Small Telescopes

 

Abstract:  In the era of large telescopes and space satellites it is very challenging to do competitive research with small size telescopes to address important problems in cosmology and astrophysics.

 In my talk I will discuss the possibility of using small size telescopes (0.5 ~ 1.0 meter) to detect and observe strongly lensed supernovae. Due to possible substantial gravitational magnifications such strongly lensed supernovae can be detected at redshifts much higher than the range a small telescope can generally probe. I will also discuss the importance of strongly lensed objects for cosmology and to probe the expansion history of the universe.
