项目摘要

We have been making collaboration under this grant for developiong frontier observing instruments with their control software and data analysis and archive system for reducing and archiving data taken with such instruments, in order to make best use of the highest performance large telescopes in the world. Because Subaru telescope, one of such large telescopes, has now come to the state that we can start test observations, we have been carrying out test observations this fiscal year with test observing instruments to check various aspects of telescopeperformance. A wide field optical camera and an infrared camera were used with a high speed read-out camera to measure telescope vibration and atmospheric turbulence. We confirmed through the test observations that Subaru telescope satisfies its specifications and has excellent performance in its resolving power, image quality, tracking accuracy, and so on. Observing procedures and control sequences are being established, which suggests that the telescope controlsystem software also has satisfactory performance for efficient operation. Basic data for atmospheric turbulence was collected through the test observations, and will be used for analysis to derive parameters for the adaptive optics system, which compensates image degradation due to atmospheric turbulence to allow higher resolving power observations. New discoveries have been made through the test observations, which strengthens the fact that Subaru telescope has world frontier performance.

我们一直在这笔赠款下进行合作，以供开发式边境观察仪器，并通过其控制软件，数据分析和档案系统来减少和存档使用此类工具，以充分利用世界上最高性能的大型大型望远镜。由于Subaru望远镜是如此大的望远镜之一，现在已经进入了我们可以开始测试观察结果的州，因此我们在这个财政年度一直在进行测试观察结果，并使用测试观察工具来检查望远镜的各个方面。使用高速读出的摄像头，将宽阔的光学摄像头和红外摄像机用于测量望远镜振动和大气湍流。我们通过测试观察结果证实，斯巴鲁望远镜满足其规格，并且在解决能力，图像质量，跟踪准确性等方面具有出色的性能。正在建立观察程序和控制序列，这表明望远镜控制系统软件也具有令人满意的性能以进行有效的操作。通过测试观察结果收集了大气湍流的基本数据，并将用于分析以得出自适应光学系统的参数，该参数可以补偿由于大气湍流而导致的图像降解以允许更高分辨率的电源观测。通过测试观察结果进行了新的发现，这增强了斯巴鲁望远镜具有世界边界性能的事实。
