本文介绍了一种用于快速变星时间序列测光的新型地面多镜望远镜，它的设计目的是减小或消除由地球自转引起的亮度记录中的空白。一系列现有的望远镜分布在经度上，由一个单一的控制中心协调，用于测量指定的目标恒星，只要它们处于黑暗中。数据通过电子邮件返回到控制中心，在那里进行真实的分析。这台仪器是第一台提供连续性和质量数据的仪器，可以对脉动白色矮星进行真正的高分辨率功率光谱分析。参考文献16篇。
A new multimirror ground-based telescope for time-series photometry of rapid variable stars, designed to minimize or eliminate gaps in the brightness record caused by the rotation of the earth, is described. A sequence of existing telescopes distributed in longitude, coordinated from a single control center, is used to measure designated target stars so long as they are in darkness. Data are returned by electronic mail to the control center, where they are analyzed in real time. This instrument is the first to provide data of continuity and quality that permit true high-resolution power spectroscopy of pulsating white dwarf stars. 16 refs.
