Hobby-Eberly望远镜排队调度十年回顾
Ten Year Review of Queue Scheduling of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
摘要:
本文总结了霍比-埃伯利望远镜(HET)在队列模式下运行的前10年。时间安排可能相当复杂,但有效地利用这台独特设计的望远镜获得了最多的科学成果。该队列必须处理数十个独立的科学计划,涉及许多机构与个别望远镜分配委员会以及工程和仪器调试。根据经验教训,我们不断修改队列操作。排队的灵活性和三台仪器的同时可用性,以及经过望远镜和仪器操作各方面培训的工作人员,使得能够最佳地利用多变的天气条件,并已证明在适应机会目标和工程任务方面特别有效。在本文中,我们回顾了HET队列的方法及其优缺点。
英文摘要:
This paper presents a summary of the first 10 years of operating the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) in queue mode. The scheduling can be quite complex but has worked effectively for obtaining the most science possible with this uniquely designed telescope. The queue must handle dozens of separate scientific programs, the involvement of a number of institutions with individual Telescope Allocation Committees as well as engineering and instrument commissioning. We have continuously revised our queue operations as we have learned from experience. The flexibility of the queue and the simultaneous availability of three instruments, along with a staff trained for all aspects of telescope and instrumentation operation, have allowed optimum use to be made of variable weather conditions and have proven to be especially effective at accommodating targets of opportunity and engineering tasks. In this paper we review the methodology of the HET queue along with its strengths and weaknesses.
