CEDAR: The Polar Cap Observatory Optical Interferometry and Spectroscopy: A Design Study Plan

该奖项为协调光学CEDAR社区，特别是光学干涉测量和光谱学方面的专家提供资金，以便为极地帽天文台（PCO）的光学组件推荐仪器。仪器的选择将基于该领域专家参加的研讨会达成的共识，解决以下需要：1)评估PCO干涉仪和光谱仪的参数和要求；2)表明当前最先进仪器的当前能力；3)估计为PCO配备适当的I类干涉仪和光谱仪的成本

This award provides funds to coordinate the optical CEDAR community, in particular experts in optical interferometry and spectroscopy, in order to recommend instrumentations for the optical component of the Polar Cap Observatory (PCO). The selection of instrumentations will be based upon a consensus reached through workshops attended by experts in this field addressing the need to 1) evaluate parameters and requirements for the interferometers and spectrometers at the PCO, 2) indicate the current capabilities of present state of the art instrumentation, and 3) estimate the costs for outfitting the PCO with an appropriate complement of Class I interferometers and spectrometers.***
