研究目的
To describe the upgrades at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory (WIRO) that enable fully remote operations and enhance its capabilities for astronomical observations.
研究成果
The upgrades at the WIRO telescope have enabled fully remote operations and improved its capabilities for astronomical observations. These improvements pave the way for a new generation of sky surveys and flexible-cadence observations.
研究不足
The paper does not explicitly mention the limitations of the research or the upgrades.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The paper describes the upgrades to the WIRO telescope, including the installation of a new telescope control system, a new prime-focus corrector, and a new prime-focus camera. These upgrades were designed to enable fully remote operations and improve the telescope's imaging capabilities.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The upgrades were implemented at the WIRO telescope, located southwest of Laramie, WY.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The upgrades include a new telescope control system, a new prime-focus corrector with fused-silica elements, a new 40962 UV-sensitive prime-focus camera, and a filter wheel. Other equipment includes a 10 kVA battery supply, a 55 kW autostart diesel generator, and a line-of-sight 300 Megabit s?1 11 GHz radio link.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The paper details the installation and alignment of the new prime-focus corrector and camera, as well as the implementation of the new telescope control system. It also describes the procedures for fully remote operation, including monitoring observatory weather and status.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The paper does not provide detailed information on data analysis methods.
