BRICS光瞬态网络（BRICS-OTN）的研究
Towards a BRICS Optical Transient Network (BRICS-OTN)
摘要：
本文基于金砖国家天文学旗舰计划提交的提案，该提案于2019年9月29日至10月2日在里约热内卢举行的金砖国家天文学工作组2019年会议上提交。探测和研究宇宙瞬态现象的未来前景预示着时域天文学的新时代。该案例介绍了一个专门的金砖四国旗舰计划，开发一个地面光学望远镜网络，用于全天调查，以检测短暂的光学瞬变，并允许跟踪多波长和多信使瞬态物体。这将利用金砖国家现有和计划中的新设施，并将利用金砖国家集团内其他多波长空间和地面设施提供的机会。拟议的光学网络将首先利用现有望远镜对新的瞬变现象进行后续观测。这一计划以后将扩大到包括一个由$\sim$ 70台宽视场1米望远镜组成的新的全球网络，这些望远镜将同时覆盖整个天空，其周期不到几个小时。这一实现将代表着一种开创性的独特全球能力，为所有金砖国家提供许多科学机会和相关的附带利益。
英文摘要：
This paper is based on a proposal submitted for a BRICS astronomy flagship program, which was presented at the 2019 meeting of the BRICS Astronomy Working Group, held in Rio de Janeiro from 29 September to 2 October 2019. The future prospects for the detection and study of transient phenomena in the Universe heralds a new era in time domain astronomy. The case is presented for a dedicated BRICS-wide flagship program to develop a network of ground-based optical telescopes for an all-sky survey to detect short lived optical transients and to allow follow-up of multi-wavelength and multi-messenger transient objects. This will leverage existing and planned new facilities within the BRICS countries and will also draw on the opportunities presented by other multi-wavelength space- and ground-based facilities that exist within the BRICS group. The proposed optical network would initially perform followup observations on new transients using existing telescopes. This would later expand to include a new global network of $\sim$70 wide-field 1-m telescopes which will cover the entire sky, simultaneously, with a cadence of less than a few hours. This realization would represent a ground-breaking and unique global capability, presenting many scientific opportunities and associated spin-off benefits to all BRICS countries.
