我们描述了一个超格式的设计,8192 × 8192像素的CCD镶嵌成像仪正在建设的莫纳克亚山天文台。马赛克将建立从一个4 × 2阵列的3边对接2048 × 4096 15微米像素的CCD制造的Loral费尔柴尔德。我们概述了这种马赛克的科学依据以及3边可对接2048 x 4096 CCD设计的技术细节。我们还介绍了我们的成像器包装和随后的马赛克建设,这将导致在马赛克与个别元素,可以很容易地安装和删除的战略。这个特殊的CCD镶嵌是为两个现有的MKO望远镜:UH 2.2 m和CFHT 3.6 m。在任何一种配置中,成像器都将提供具有出色空间采样的巨大视场。
We describe the design of an ultra-format, 8192 x 8192 pixel CCD mosaic imager under construction for the Mauna Kea Observatory. The mosaic will be built from a 4 x 2 array of 3-edge-buttable 2048 x 4096 15 micrometers pixel CCDs fabricated by Loral Fairchild. We outline the scientific justification for such a mosaic and the technical details of the 3-edge-buttable 2048 x 4096 CCD design. We also present our strategy for imager packaging and subsequent mosaic construction which will result in a mosaic with individual elements that can easily be installed and removed. This particular CCD mosaic is intended for two existing MKO telescopes: the UH 2.2 m and the CFHT 3.6m. In either configuration, the imager will offer an enormous field of view with excellent spatial sampling.
