拼接镜面主动控制系统的定标

对拼接主镜进行主动控制是拼接镜技术的难点之一,8 m环形拼接太阳望远镜主动光学的控制性能主要取决于倾斜探测的精度与控制模型建立的准确程度。在研制主动控制系统时,需要对倾斜探测精度定标以及建立较为准确的控制模型,即对主动控制系统定标。实验系统中搭建了用于实时探测拼接子镜倾斜的夏克-哈特曼波前传感器,并对其重复测量精度进行了定标,精度达到0.014 arcsec,接近8 m环形太阳望远镜面形控制的要求。然后利用边缘传感器和夏克-哈特曼波前传感器测量了两镜主动控制系统的控制矩阵,建立较为准确的控制模型。     

Image Quality Control and Alignment of a Submillimeter Balloon-Borne Segmented Telescope

PRONAOS is a balloon-borne system dedicated to astronomical observations in the submillimeter range (180µm - 1050µm) based on the use of a 2m Cassegrain telescope. The primary mirror consists of six CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) panels, each being positioned by three actuators. The rotation angles of the panels have been measured in the visible range with the help of a CCD and digital centroiding techniques that were necessary because of the light scattering on the CFRP mirror. The translation movements (along the optical axis) of the panels have been measured with an interference technique in the submillimeter range. Both visible and submillimeter measurements were also necessary to determine the alignment of the telescope - focal instrument system with the star sensor. The whole alignment process leads to a precision of ±8 for the rotation angles and ±7µm for the translation of each panel, sufficient for a qualification of the system.     

Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations of NGC 3079

We present new observations at three frequencies (326, 615 and 1281 MHz) of the radio lobe spiral galaxy, NGC 3079, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. These observations are consistent with previous data obtained at other telescopes and reveal the structure of the nuclear radio lobes in exquisite detail. In addition, new features are observed, some with H  i counterparts, showing broad-scale radio continuum emission and extensions. The galaxy is surrounded by a radio halo that is at least 4.8 kpc in height. Two giant radio extensions/loops are seen on either side of the galaxy out to ∼11 kpc from the major axis, only slightly offset from the direction of the smaller nuclear radio lobes. If these are associated with the nuclear outflow, then the galaxy has experienced episodic nuclear activity. Emission along the southern major axis suggests motion through a local intergalactic medium (not yet detected), and it may be that NGC 3079 is itself creating this local intergalactic gas via outflows. We also present maps of the minimum energy parameters for this galaxy, including cosmic ray energy density, electron diffusion length, magnetic field strength, particle lifetime and power.     

大型拼接镜面望远镜子镜装卸装置的研究

自从400 yr前伽利略第1次使用望远镜观测天空以来,人类为了探索更深的宇宙,望远镜的口径越做越大,拼接镜面望远镜成为趋势.本世纪初一批大口径拼接望远镜先后被研制出来,这其中包括我国的大天区面积多目标光纤光谱天文望远镜LAMOST.随着望远镜口径增大,子镜单元增多,子镜单元的装卸问题日益突出.本文试图对这一问题进行探讨,设计了一套用于LAMOST球面主镜的子镜单元装卸装置,希望为大口径望远镜的子镜装卸提供一些思路和借鉴.     

8m中国巨型太阳望远镜偏振光学设计

望远镜的仪器偏振是影响太阳磁场测量的重要因素,为了获得精确的太阳磁场信息,对大型太阳望远镜光学系统进行偏振优化设计非常必要.针对8 m中国巨型太阳望远镜(Chinese Giant Solar Telescope, CGST)的偏振设计需求,提出了基于四镜偏振补偿结构的望远镜折轴光学系统设计方案.基于偏振光线追迹方法,分析了该方案仪器偏振在望远镜光瞳和视场上的分布特性以及视场分布特性随望远镜运动和波长的变化.结果表明,在HeI 1.083μm和FeI 1.565μm磁敏谱线所在的近红外波段, CGST仪器偏振满足2×10^-4测量精度要求的“无偏振视场”为0.91′,而在可见光波段该“无偏振视场”为0.5′.     

Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope low-frequency observations of extrasolar planetary systems

Extrasolar planets are expected to emit detectable low-frequency radio emission. In this paper, we present results from new low-frequency observations of two extrasolar planetary systems (Epsilon Eridani and HD 128311) taken at 150 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). These two systems have been chosen because the stars are young (with ages <1 Gyr) and are likely to have strong stellar winds, which will increase the expected radio flux. The planets are massive (presumably) gas giant planets in longer period orbits, and hence will not be tidally locked to their host star (as is likely to be the case for short-period planets) and we would expect them to have a strong planetary dynamo and magnetic field. We do not detect either system, but are able to place tight upper limits on their low-frequency radio emission, at levels comparable to the theoretical predictions for these systems. From these observations, we have a 2.5σ limit of 7.8 mJy for ε Eri and 15.5 mJy for HD 128311. In addition, these upper limits also provide limits on the low-frequency radio emission from the stars themselves. These results are discussed and also the prospects for the future detection of radio emission from extrasolar planets.
