摘要:

我们提出了一个描述的“导体”,一个自动化的软件包,它处理所有的意见,在第一恒星观测网络组(宋)节点望远镜在泰德天文台特内里费岛。其目的是提供关于目标选择和观测执行自动化程序的完整说明,并演示SONG机器人望远镜的操作方式。Conductor是一个用Python开发的软件包,在奥胡斯的服务器上运行,它使用了一个大型的数据库表集,通过它与SONG节点进行通信。根据一系列选择标准,指挥能够在考虑当地天气条件和技术限制的情况下,在任何给定时刻确定最佳观测目标。指挥使Hertzsprung SONG望远镜成为一个高度复杂和高效的机器人望远镜设施,而无需人工干预。它可以处理从主要研究者提交具有特定设置的拟议目标到观察完成后可供下载的数据的所有内容。目前,由于Conductor的可用性,SONG项目的第一个节点可以被认为是世界领先的机器人望远镜,在所需的人类互动,效率和观测策略的灵活性方面。

英文摘要:

We present a description of "the Conductor", an automated software package which handles all observations at the first Stellar Observations Network Group (SONG) node telescope at the Teide Observatory on the island of Tenerife. The idea was to provide a complete description on the automated procedures for target selection and execution of observations and to demonstrate how the SONG robotic telescope is being operated. The Conductor is a software package developed in Python and running on a server in Aarhus which makes use of a large set of database tables through which it communicates with the SONG nodes. Based on a number of selection criteria the Conductor is able to identify the optimum target to be observed at any given moment taking into account local weather conditions and technical constraints. The Conductor has made it possible for the Hertzsprung SONG telescope to become a highly sophisticated and efficient robotic telescopic facility without human interaction. It can handle everything from Principal Investigators submitting their proposed targets with specific settings to the data being available for download after the observations has been carried out. At present, and thanks to the availability of the Conductor, the first node of the SONG project can be considered a world leading robotic telescope with respect to needed human interactions, efficiency and flexibility in observing strategy.
