紫外成像望远镜(UVIT)的测试与定标
Tests & Calibration on Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT)
摘要:
ASTROSAT卫星任务中的紫外成像望远镜是一套远紫外(FUV; 130至180 nm),近紫外(NUV; 200至300 nm)和可见光波段(VIS; 320至550 nm)成像仪。ASTROSAT是印度的第一个多波长飞行任务。UVIT将在三个通道中同时对天空中选定的区域进行成像,观察年轻的恒星,星系,明亮的紫外线源。3个通道中的每一个中的FOV约为28弧分。所得UV图像中的目标角分辨率优于1.8弧秒(对于可见光通道优于2.0弧秒)。两台相同的Ritchey-Chretien配置的望远镜(T1,T2)(主镜直径为375 mm)收集天体辐射,并通过滤光轮机构上的可选滤光片馈送到探测器系统; FUV和NUV通道的滤光轮中有光栅,用于无狭缝低分辨率光谱学。3个通道中每个通道的检测器系统基本相同。一台望远镜在FUV通道成像,其他望远镜在NUV和VIS通道成像。每台望远镜上的一次性可打开的机械盖在部署后也起着遮阳的作用。我们将介绍对这两台望远镜进行的光学测试和校准。文中还介绍了工程模型的振动试验和热真空试验结果。
英文摘要:
Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope on ASTROSAT Satellite mission is a suite of Far Ultra Violet (FUV; 130 to 180 nm), Near Ultra Violet (NUV; 200 to 300 nm) and Visible band (VIS; 320 to 550nm) imagers. ASTROSAT is a first multi wavelength mission of INDIA. UVIT will image the selected regions of the sky simultaneously in three channels & observe young stars, galaxies, bright UV Sources. FOV in each of the 3 channels is about 28 arc-minute. Targeted angular resolution in the resulting UV images is better than 1.8 arc-second (better than 2.0 arc-second for the visible channel). Two identical co-aligned telescopes (T1, T2) of Ritchey-Chretien configuration (Primary mirror of 375 mm diameter) collect the celestial radiation and feed to the detector system via a selectable filter on a filter wheel mechanism; gratings are available in the filter wheels of FUV and NUV channels for slit-less low resolution spectroscopy. The detector system for each of the 3 channels is generically identical. One telescope images in the FUV channel, and other images in NUV and VIS channels. One time open-able mechanical cover on each telescope also works as Sun-shield after deployment.We will present the optical tests and calibrations done on the two telescopes. Results on vibrations test and thermo-vacuum tests on the engineering model will also be presented.
