AI 中文摘要
伯明翰太阳振荡网络（BiSON）为日震学提供长期、高精度的“太阳作为恒星”径向速度观测。尽管大多数BiSON站点可自主运行，但位于特内里费岛泰德天文台和美国威尔逊山天文台的两个观测台历来需要每日现场操作。本文介绍利用下一代观测平台BiSON:NG实现这些站点的自动化，该平台包含紧凑型光纤馈电仪器，以及基于微服务的模块化控制与数据采集架构。在两个站点已部署新的自动光学馈源和通用软件框架，尽管面临显著不同的物理与操作约束，仍实现了导星、数据采集及仪器控制等观测子系统的自主运行。此次升级表明，现代自动化技术可成功集成到现有及历史观测台基础设施中。采用BiSON:NG架构可降低运营开销，缓解硬件与软件过时相关的风险，并支持网络在日震学研究所需的数十年时间尺度上可持续运行；该架构的灵活性也为未来部署更多小 footprint（小型化）观测台提供了途径。
英文摘要
The Birmingham Solar Oscillations Network (BiSON) provides long-term, high-precision Sun-as-a-star radial-velocity observations for helioseismology. While most BiSON sites operate autonomously, two observatories at Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, and at Mount Wilson Observatory, USA, have historically required daily on-site operation. We present the automation of these sites using the BiSON:NG next-generation observing platform, incorporating compact fibre-fed instrumentation and a modular, microservice-based control and data acquisition architecture. At both locations, new automated optical feeds and a common software framework have been deployed, enabling autonomous operation of the observing subsystems, including guiding, data acquisition, and instrument control, despite markedly different physical and operational constraints. The upgrades demonstrate that modern automation can be successfully integrated within existing and historic observatory infrastructure. Adoption of the BiSON:NG architecture reduces operational overhead, mitigates risks associated with hardware and software obsolescence, and supports sustainable operation of the network over the multi-decade timescales required for helioseismic studies. The flexibility of the architecture also provides a pathway for future deployment of additional small-footprint observatories.
