摘要:

怀俄明州2.3米红外天文台望远镜的升级提供了由怀俄明大学校园的单一操作员进行全远程操作的能力。视距300 Megabit/s 11 GHz无线电链路为数据传输和远程操作提供高速互联网,包括几个实时视频源。关键系统的10 kVA电池供电和55 kW自动启动柴油发电机确保了不间断的电力供应,能够使整个观测台运行长达一周。采用熔融石英元件的新型四元件定焦校正器的构造允许使用新型4096 x4096紫外敏感定焦相机和滤光轮在40'视场内成像。一个新的望远镜控制系统促进了远程操作模式,并提供20“rms指向可用的天空。总的来说,这些改进为新一代的天空调查铺平了道路,支持天基任务和灵活的节奏观测,推进新兴的天体物理学优先事项,如行星探测,类星体变化和长期时域活动。

英文摘要:

Upgrades at the 2.3 meter Wyoming Infrared Observatory telescope have provided the capability for fully-remote operations by a single operator from the University of Wyoming campus. A line-of-sight 300 Megabit/s 11 GHz radio link provides high-speed internet for data transfer and remote operations that include several real-time video feeds. Uninterruptable power is ensured by a 10 kVA battery supply for critical systems and a 55 kW autostart diesel generator capable of running the entire observatory for up to a week. Construction of a new four-element prime-focus corrector with fused-silica elements allows imaging over a 40' field-of-view with a new 4096x4096 UV-sensitive prime-focus camera and filter wheel. A new telescope control system facilitates the remote operations model and provides 20'' rms pointing over the usable sky. Taken together, these improvements pave the way for a new generation of sky surveys supporting space-based missions and flexible-cadence observations advancing emerging astrophysical priorities such as planet detection, quasar variability, and long-term time-domain campaigns.
