紫外观测仪及其在ASTRI-Horn望远镜上的应用
UVscope and its application aboard the ASTRI-Horn telescope
摘要:
紫外线观测仪是一种基于多像素光子探测器的仪器,为支持高能天体物理学和宇宙射线研究的实验活动而开发。该仪器工作在单光子计数模式下,可直接测量波长范围为300-650 nm的光通量。该仪器可用于需要夜间环境光度知识的广泛应用领域。目前,一台紫外线观测仪器安装在专门用于甚高能量伽马射线天文学的ASTRI-Horn Cherenkov望远镜的外部结构上。由于与ASTRI-Horn照相机的轴线对准,紫外线观测仪可以与ASTRI-Horn照相机同时测量夜空背景的漫射发射,而不会干扰望远镜的主要数据采集程序。紫外镜进行了适当的校准,它被用作一个独立的参考仪器的测试和诊断的新型ASTRI-Horn望远镜。
英文摘要:
UVscope is an instrument, based on a multi-pixel photon detector, developed to support experimental activities for high-energy astrophysics and cosmic ray research. The instrument, working in single photon counting mode, is designed to directly measure light flux in the wavelengths range 300-650~nm. The instrument can be used in a wide field of applications where the knowledge of the nocturnal environmental luminosity is required. Currently, one UVscope instrument is allocated onto the external structure of the ASTRI-Horn Cherenkov telescope devoted to the gamma-ray astronomy at very high energies. Being co-aligned with the ASTRI-Horn camera axis, UVscope can measure the diffuse emission of the night sky background simultaneously with the ASTRI-Horn camera, without any interference with the main telescope data taking procedures. UVscope is properly calibrated and it is used as an independent reference instrument for test and diagnostic of the novel ASTRI-Horn telescope.
