宽视场红外瞬变探测器（WINTER）是一种新型红外时域测量仪器，安装在帕洛玛天文台的专用1米机器人望远镜上。WINTER将对红外（IR）天空进行首次有限时间观测，特别强调在LIGO探测到的双中子星（BNS）合并残留物中识别r过程物质。我们已经开发并测试了一种定制的光机械安装方案，用于填充系数<90%的6通道平铺光学系统。在这里，我们提出了机械设计和测试方法，用于冬季的发展。
The Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new infrared time-domain survey instrument on a dedicated 1 meter robotic telescope at the Palomar Observatory. WINTER will perform the first seeing-limited time domain survey of the infrared (IR) sky, with a particular emphasis on identifying r-process material in binary neutron star (BNS) merger remnants detected by LIGO. We have developed and tested a custom opto-mechanical mounting scheme for a 6-channel tiled optical system with <90% fill factor. Here, we present the mechanical design and testing approach used in the development of WINTER.
