摘要:

南极特殊环境可为天文台址提供绝佳的天文观测条件且具有极高的空间碎片过境频率等特性, 因此, 南极大视场望远镜在天文观测、空间碎片管理和深空探测等领域具有重要研究意义。本文基于南极天文观测科学目标的需求, 综合考虑南极天文台址视宁度数据要求, 针对满足南极使用的大视场望远镜光学系统关键科学问题, 首先总结与分析了南极天文台址的特征。其次, 我国先后在南极地区部署的几批大视场光学望远镜, 囊括了几类典型的大视场光学系统, 本文详细探讨了南极大视场望远镜目前采用的多类典型大视场光学系统的设计理论, 并对南极地区现有和规划中的大视场望远镜项目进行了全面的阐述, 介绍了这些系统的关键技术特点。最后, 深入探讨了南极大视场望远镜在天文探测科学研究领域所取得的重要进展, 重点介绍该领域的前沿动态与一些关键性的突破。

Abstract:

Astronomical observatory sites, in the extreme Antarctic environment, not only exhibit exceptional conditions for astronomical observations, but also present a notably high frequency of space debris transit. These characteristics provide high versatility for large field-of-view telescopes with diverse potential applications, such as astronomical observations, space debris management, and deep space exploration. To achieve scientific objectives while considering data requirements, China has deployed several large field of view telescopes with various optical systems in Antarctica. This review discusses key aspects of Antarctic large field of view observations. First, the Chinese Antarctic astronomical sites are described and the motivation for constructing multiple large field of view telescopes in Antarctica is given. Second, the types of optical systems currently used for Chinese Antarctic telescopes are detailed. Third, the expected scientific advances are listed. This review aims to demonstrate the usefulness of large field of view telescopes in the unique context of Antarctica.
