Start-up for RISE/PSPT Project

该计划的一个重要方面是， 这次活动的数据将提供给所有感兴趣的人， 太阳物理学家 所建议的仪器将是一个小的，低分散的， 光折射望远镜，包括一个15厘米的双合透镜，一个快速的 引导器，0.2 nm CaII K过滤器和几个附加过滤器， 在其他波长的连续观测，和商业 2048x2048 CCD摄像头。 整个封闭的望远镜包将 站在赤道上。 数据速率将足够低 一台PC级的计算机既可以用于望远镜控制， 和数据采集。 这一建议将有助于制作高度数日震仪 向社区提供数据。 这个工具， 去年在南极运行，已经安装在 基特峰真空望远镜，现在正在生产高质量的钙 K线图像。 在这里请求的适度帮助下，这些数据 将每周提供给社区。 这 将开启与太阳变星相关的重要科学 辐射输出。 此外，该项目可以开始 购买未来RISE PSPT望远镜所需的设备。

An important aspect of this program is that the observational data from this campaign will be made available to all interested solar physicists. The instrument that is proposed will be a small, low-scattered- light refracting telescope consisting of a 15-cm doublet, a fast guider, a 0.2 nm CaII K filter and several additional filters for continuum observations at other wavelengths, and a commercial 2048x2048 CCD camera. The entire enclosed telescope package will be on an equatorial mount. Data rates will be sufficiently low that a pc-class computer can be used for both telescope control and data acquisition. This proposal will aid in making the High-Degree Helioseismometer data available to the community. This instrument, which was operated last year at the South Pole, has been installed at the Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope, and is now producing high-quality Ca K-line images. With the modest help requested here, these data will be made available to the community on a weekly basis. This will start important science associated with the Sun's variable radiative output now. In addition, the project can begin purchasing equipment needed for a future RISE PSPT telescope.
