Development of a Wide-Field, Near-Infrared Camera for the Wyoming Infrared Observatory

美国怀俄明州皮尔斯--将为怀俄明大学红外天文台建造一台现代化的近红外相机。怀俄明州的广域相机将基于一个2048x2048夏威夷-2 HgCdTe探测器，并将包括一个主焦点校正器和两个低温5位置滤光轮。该相机将放置在怀俄明州红外天文台2.3米望远镜的f/2.1主焦点上，将产生0.76角秒/像素的板比例和26角分的视场。该仪器将在怀俄明大学新重组的研究生和本科生天文学课程中发挥主导作用，并促进怀俄明州地区的科技基础设施。

AST-0421507 -- Pierce, U. WyomingA modern, near-infrared camera for the University of Wyoming Infrared Observatory will be built. The Wyoming Wide-Field Camera will be based around a 2048x2048 Hawaii-2 HgCdTe detector and will include a prime focus corrector and two cryogenic 5-position filter wheels. The camera will be placed at the f/2.1 prime focus of the Wyoming Infrared Observatory 2.3-m telescope and will produce a plate scale of 0.76 arcsec/pixel and a field of view of 26 arc min. The instrument will play a leading role in the newly restructured graduate and undergraduate astronomy programs at the University of Wyoming and boost the science and technology infrastructure in the Wyoming region.
