Expanded Horizons for the Anglo-Australian Telescope

该项目旨在扩大英澳望远镜最需要的两种仪器的能力：国际独特的2度场光纤定位器和最近安装的velce系外行星探测器。望远镜的繁荣或衰落取决于安装在上面的仪器的质量，像这样的定期更新需要保持在最前沿。该项目的预期成果是来自更可靠的仪器的更多、更优质的数据，以及更高的科学生产力。好处包括为当地科学家和学生提供新的研究机会，为望远镜提供新的国际合作伙伴，加强国际合作，为望远镜提供一个安全的未来。

This project aims to expand the capabilities of the Anglo-Australian Telescope’s two most demanded instruments: the internationally unique Two-degree-Field fibre positioner, and the recently installed Veloce exoplanet finder. Telescopes thrive or wither on the quality of the instruments that are installed on them, and regular refreshes like these are required for them to stay at the cutting edge. The expected outcomes of this project are more and better quality data from more reliable instruments, and higher scientific productivity. Benefits include new research opportunities for local scientists and students, new international partners for the telescope, enhanced international collaboration, and a secure future for the telescope.
