标题:Dome API上预热望远镜的运行和返回:Christopher K. Walker博士,亚利桑那大学SGER奖题为“预热:首次亚毫米现场测试和圆顶A的天文光谱”授予亚利桑那大学,为澳大利亚PLATO自主模块提供现场测试小型望远镜预热。PLATO模块随后在2007-08年的南半球夏季成功地部署在南极高原的最高点Dome A,作为澳大利亚-中国天文学家联合开发的科学站点测试计划的一部分。该计划的目标是利用Pre-HEAT作为一项开创性的任务,为未来在Dome a进行远红外天文调查铺平道路。Pre-HEAT在13CO J=6-5的光谱下绘制了南银河面,这是参与恒星形成和恒星星际反馈的温暖、致密气体的关键测量指标。Pre-HEAT观测项目在2008年南部冬季基本成功;它现在一直持续到2009年。该提案寻求资金将这些仪器归还给亚利桑那大学。对学生的持续依赖为这项拟议的研究提供了更广泛的影响,并坚定地将这一努力作为其教育使命的基础。
英文摘要
ANT-0914508 Title: Operation and Return of the Pre-HEAT Telescope on Dome API: Dr. Christopher K. Walker, University of ArizonaThe SGER award entitled "Pre-HEAT: First Submillimeter Site Testing and Astronomical Spectra from Dome A" was awarded to the University of Arizona to supply a site-testing small telescope Pre-HEAT to the Australian PLATO autonomous module. The PLATO module was then successfully deployed at Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic Plateau, in the 2007-08 austral summer as part of a science site-testing program jointly developed by the Australia-Chinese team of astronomers. The objectives of this program was to utilize Pre-HEAT as a pioneering mission which night pave the way for future far-infrared astronomical investigations from Dome A. Pre-HEAT maps the Southern Galactic Plane in the spectral light of 13CO J=6-5, a key measure of the warm, dense gas that participates in star formation and stellar-interstellar feedback. The Pre-HEAT observational program was mostly successful through austral winter of 2008; it is now continued through 2009. This proposal seeks funding to return these instruments back to University of Arizona. Continued reliance on students provides a broader impact to this proposed research and firmly grounds this effort in its educational mission.
