Start-up for RISE/PSPT Project

这个项目的一个重要方面是，这次活动的观测数据将提供给所有感兴趣的太阳物理学家。提出的仪器将是一个小型的低散射光折射望远镜，由一个15厘米的双透镜、一个快速导流器、一个0.2 nm的CaII K滤光片和几个用于其他波长连续观测的额外滤光片组成，以及一个商用2048 × 2048 CCD相机。整个封闭的望远镜将安装在赤道上。数据速率将足够低，一台pc级的计算机可以同时用于望远镜控制和数据采集。这一建议将有助于使高次日震计的数据可供社区使用。这台仪器去年在南极运行，已经安装在基特峰真空望远镜上，现在正在产生高质量的钙钾线图像。在这里请求的适度帮助下，这些数据将每周提供给社区。这将开启与太阳可变辐射输出相关的重要科学研究。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.
