学生使用望远镜的实践经验的重要性
The Importance of Hands-on Experience with Telescopes for Students
摘要:
正确解释和理解天文数据需要对数据采集过程有很好的了解。远程观测、队列观测和大型存档数据产品的可用性的增加,有可能使天文学家与望远镜隔绝,从而可能降低他们对理解数据至关重要的观测技术的熟悉程度。学习基本观测技术至少可以通过三种方式完成:1)学院和大学运营的观测设施,2)学生通过竞争性提案参与国家设施,3)国家设施的计划,以增加高水平的本科生和研究生接触望远镜。我们鼓励国家组织和大学通过上述三种方法,包括旨在支持望远镜实践经验的计划和资金。
英文摘要:
Proper interpretation and understanding of astronomical data requires good knowledge of the data acquisition process. The increase in remote observing, queue observing, and the availability of large archived data products risk insulating astronomers from the telescope, potentially reducing their familiarity with the observational techniques crucial in understanding the data. Learning fundamental observing techniques can be done in at least three ways: 1) College and university operated observing facilities, 2) Student involvement in national facilities through competitive proposals, 3) Programs at national facilities to increase upper-level undergraduate and graduate student exposure to telescopes. We encourage both national organizations and universities to include programs and funding aimed at supporting hands-on experience with telescopes through the three methods mentioned.
