论文摘要
Zwicky瞬态设施(ZTF)观察系统(OS)是ZTF项目的数据收集器,用于研究时间域中的天体物理现象。 ZTF OS基于南加州Palomar天文台的48英寸光圈Schmidt-type设计Samuel Oschin望远镜。它结合了新的望远镜近球校正器光学元件,圆顶和望远镜驱动器,大型曝光快门,平面照明系统,机器人带通滤波器交换器以及关键元素:新的47平方英尺,600兆像素的Megapixel Crodic Ceregenic CCD CCD Mosaic Mosaic Science摄像头以及支撑设备以及支持设备。 OS收集并将数字化的调查数据传递到ZTF数据系统(DS)。在这里,我们描述了ZTF OS设计,光学实现,交付的图像质量,检测器性能和机器人调查效率。
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Observing System (OS) is the data collector for the ZTF project to study astrophysical phenomena in the time domain. ZTF OS is based upon the 48-inch aperture Schmidt-type design Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in Southern California. It incorporates new telescope aspheric corrector optics, dome and telescope drives, a large-format exposure shutter, a flat-field illumination system, a robotic bandpass filter exchanger, and the key element: a new 47-square-degree, 600 megapixel cryogenic CCD mosaic science camera, along with supporting equipment. The OS collects and delivers digitized survey data to the ZTF Data System (DS). Here, we describe the ZTF OS design, optical implementation, delivered image quality, detector performance, and robotic survey efficiency.
