TESSVisibility --我最喜欢的恒星或小行星是什么时候被TESS观测到的?
TESSVisibility -- When was my favorite star or asteroid observed by TESS?
摘要:
虽然凌日系外行星勘测卫星(TESS)在常规观测期间覆盖了相当大的天空区域,并且指向时间表很容易遵循,但考虑到太阳系的静止和移动目标,如小行星或彗星,检索大量物体的当前和/或预测可见性并不明显。程序`tessvisibility`是一小段高度可移植的代码,在C和UNIX shell中实现,提供了以TESS像素精度进行批量检索的功能。该精度包括焦平面CCD之间的间隙、摄像机之间的间隙以及用于获取可见度信息的扇区级处理。
英文摘要:
While Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) covers a considerable area of the sky during routine observations and the pointing schedule is easy to follow, it is not obvious to retrieve the current and/or predicted visibility of a bulk amount of objects, considering both stationary and moving Solar System targets like asteroids or comets. The program `tessvisibility` is a small piece of highly portable code implemented in both C an UNIX shell, providing functionalities for such bulk retrievals at the accuracy of a TESS pixel. This accuracy includes the gaps between the focal plane CCDs, the gaps between the cameras as well as at the sector-level treatment to obtain visibility information.
