论文摘要
Simons天文台(SO)是一个基于地面的宇宙微波背景调查实验,由三个0.5 m的小型伸缩望远镜和一个6 m的大型望远镜组成,位于智利Atacama沙漠中的5200 m。因此,将研究宇宙微波背景(CMB)的极化和温度各向异性。天文台将需要良好的望远镜指向和扫描。良好的天线控制将使我们能够执行设计的扫描策略,以优化对我们的科学目标的敏感性,用天体目标校准系统并制作地图。为了实现这一目标,我们将望远镜天线控制单元(ACU)(ACU)的数据采集和控制集成到SO天文台控制系统(OCS)的软件框架内。我们在这里介绍了ACUS软件集成的当前状态,以及小型光圈望远镜平台对工厂中软件命令的响应,现场测量计划以及在大型孔径望远镜上实现的前景。
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background survey experiment that consists of three 0.5 m small-aperture telescopes and one 6 m large-aperture telescope, sited at an elevation of 5200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. SO will study the polarization and temperature anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The observatory will require well-understood telescope pointing and scanning. Good antenna control will allow us to execute the scan strategy devised to optimize sensitivity to our scientific goals, calibrate the system with celestial targets, and make maps. To achieve this, we integrate the data acquisition and control of the telescopes' Antenna Control Units (ACUs) within the software framework of the SO Observatory Control System (OCS). We present here the current status of the software integration for the ACUs, as well as measurements of the Small Aperture Telescope platforms' responsiveness to software commanding in the factory, plans for in situ measurements, and prospects for implementation on the Large Aperture Telescope.
