德令哈站光学观测条件
Optical Observing Conditions at Delingha Station
摘要:
SONG是一个用于恒星时域科学的1米望远镜全球地面网络,是一个涉及世界许多国家的国际合作。为了实现有利的工作周期,SONG网络计划在南北半球各创建4个节点的均匀分布。一个自然的可能性是在东亚建立一个北方节点,最好是在青藏高原。在过去的十年里,中国在寻找高质量的地基天文学场地方面投入了大量的努力,因为这一直是中国天文学发展的主要关注点之一。高原上的一些站点已经运行多年,但其中大多数仅用于射电天文学,以及应用天文学的小型光学望远镜。几个潜在的网站大型光学仪器已确定的高原现场调查,但迄今为止,他们都没有得到充分的定量特征。在这里,我们介绍了德令哈遗址多年来的详细研究结果,该遗址最终被选定为宋-中国节点。我们还描述了现场监控系统,该系统将允许一个隔离的SONG和50 BiN节点在自动化模式下安全运行。
英文摘要:
SONG is a global ground based network of 1 meter telescopes for stellar time-domain science, an international collaboration involving many countries across the world. In order to enable a favourable duty cycle, the SONG network plans to create a homogeneous distribution of 4 nodes in each of the northern and southern hemispheres. A natural possibility was building one of the northern nodes in East Asia, preferably on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. During the last decade, a great deal of effort has been invested in searching for high a quality site for ground based astronomy in China, since this has been one of the major concerns for the development of Chinese astronomy. A number of sites on the plateau have been in operation for many years, but most of them are used only for radio astronomy, as well as small optical telescopes for applied astronomy. Several potential sites for large optical instruments have been identified by the plateau site survey, but as yet none of them have been adequately quantitatively characterised. Here we present results from a detailed multi-year study of the Delingha site, which was eventually selected for the SONG-China node. We also describe the site monitoring system that will allow an isolated SONG and 50BiN node to operate safely in an automated mode.
