Acquisition of a new Infrared Detector for Astronomical Research

WegnerMRI 0079523摘要将对位于基特峰国家天文台的2.4米望远镜上的俄亥俄州州立大学-NOAO红外成像光谱仪（ONIS）的红外探测器进行升级。 这是天文研究中非常有用的工具。MDM联盟公司经营的望远镜，这是一个财团的达特茅斯学院（1/3）和俄亥俄州州立大学，哥伦比亚大学和密歇根大学。 除了将仪器的视场和波长覆盖范围扩大一倍外，此次升级还消除了当前系统中导致校准误差的严重外观效应误差。目前的探测器将被改进的1024 x1024像素大格式Raytheon InSb焦平面取代，用于1至3微米波长区域。计划的科学研究领域是对极红天体进行宽视场调查、对球状星团年龄进行红外研究和对超新星进行红外研究。***

WegnerMRI0079523AbstractAn upgrade of the infrared detector for the Ohio State University-NOAO infrared imaging spectrometer (ONIS) at the 2.4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory will be implemented. This has been a very productive instrument for astronomical research. The MDM Consortium, Inc operates the telescope, which is a consortium of Dartmouth College (1/3) and Ohio State University, Columbia University and the University of Michigan. In addition to doubling the field of view and wavelength coverage of the instrument, this upgrade eliminates serious cosmetic effect errors in the current system that causes calibration errors. The current detector will be replaced by an improved 1024x1024 pixel large format Raytheon InSb focal plane for use in the 1 to 3 micrometer wavelength region. The scientific research areas planned are wide-field surveys for extremely red objects (ERO's), infrared studies of globular cluster ages and infrared studies of supernovae. ***
