Tarea 2 Solicitando Tiempo de Observaci on en un Observatorio Astron omico

Joel Alem an Ram rez April 11, 2013

Abstract Este documento tiene el prop osito mostrar el protoc olo que se debe seguir para solicitar tiempo de observaci on en un observatorio astron omico as mismo, exponer espcicaciones t ecnicas generales de algunos de los instrumentos utilizados en dichos observatorios. Para prop osito del presente trabajo he escogido el Observatorio Alem an de Tenerife ubicado en Espa na (Islas Canarias) y he seleccionado como instrumentos para la observaci on el telescopio VTT (Vacuum Tower Telescope)

Introducci on

El VVT es un telescopio solar cl asico: dos espejos Celestron alimentan la luz del Sol en el telescopio. El espejo primario tiene un di ametro de 70 cm y una longitud focal de 46 m. El telescopio est a situado en un edicio con una altura de unos 38 m y m as de 10 plantas. El VTT ofrece amplios laboratorios opticos para todo tipo de montajes as como instalaciones permanentes. Se dispone adem as de instrumentos especializados y dedicados entre los que se pueden mencionar: - Tesos / VIP: espectr ometro 2D basado en tres interfer ometros FabryPerot con un dise no telec entrico y una resoluci on espectral de 250.000. - Espectr ografo Echelle: un espectr ografo de rejilla con un pre dispersor, que permite medir hasta tres diferentes bandas espectrales con una 1

resoluci on espectral de aproximadamente 1 mill on. - TIP-II (Tenerife Polar metro infrarrojo): espectropolar metro de infrarrojo cercano que se usa junto con el espectr ografo Echelle para medir los perles de Stokes de infrarrojos cercanos a las l neas espectrales (1,0 a 1,8 micras) con alta resoluci on espacial y espectral. Un Sistema de optica adaptativa est a permanentemente instalado y disponible en todos los instrumentos, con lo que se obtiene una mejora sustancial de la calidad de la im agen y con la cuale se logra resoluciones espaciales de hasta 0,2 segundos de arco a 500 nm para exposiciones cortas, y de algunos segundos de arco 0,5 para exposiciones de hasta 10 segundos. El per odo de observaci on de este telescopio va desde mediados de abril hasta mediados de diciembre alcanzando una rata de 240 d as de observaci on. El VTT es una infraestructura de primera clase sobre todo para estudios de f sica solar con cuyos proyectos de observaci on surgen una media de 20 art culos originales (arbitrados) los que se publican anualmente. Los objetivos cient cos del VTT en sus campa nas de observaci on est an t picamente dirigidos en las l neas de investigaci on que tienen que ver con - la f sica de la convecci on, regi on activa y aparici on de ujo, campos magn eticos y magneto convecci on, emisi on cromosf erica y calefacci on; oscilaci on solar. La temporada de observaci on de VTT normalmente comienza en abril y termina a principios de noviembre. Los plazos de solicitud son a mediados de enero.

1.1

Qui enes Pueden Solicitar Tiempo de Observaci on

El VTT est a abierto a todo el mundo. El tiempo de observaci on en el VTT tiene distintos contingentes, que se describen en propuestas de observaci on que se detallan a continuaci on - CCI / ITP (EAST TAC). - Tiempo de Espa na (CAT Solar). - SolarNet (programa ACCESS, EAST TAC). - Hora alemana (dividida entre la AIP en Potsdam, MPS en Lindau / Katlenburg y KIS en Friburgo). Los usuarios externos y los nuevos se les anima a solicitar tiempo de 2

observaci on en los TACs diferentes. Si se necesita ayuda puede solicitarse a: Rolf Schlichenmaier (schliche@ kis). Los plazos para la temporada de observaci on de 2013 son los siguientes. - Para el TAC alem an, 22 de enero 2013. - Para el TAC EAST (eastt ac@kis), 16deenero2012. La forma para la propuesta de observaci on se detalle en el siguiente tem de este documento, la fecha l mite para enviarla es el 16 de enero de 2013.

Principal Investigator: Aliation: Email address: CoInvestigators(s): Aliation(s): Email address(es): Please indicate students, e.g., by adding (student) after the name. [ ] We/I want to apply for time under the SOLARNET ACCESS program. If yes, please check the box to the left (cf. http://www.astro-east.org/index.php?id=454). [ ] We/I want to apply for time under the CCI International Time Program (ITP). If yes, please check the box to the left (cf. http://www.astro-east.org/index.php?id=454).

For allocation of observing time we have two requests: Request 1: [ ] We will deliver a technical report on our observing campaign if granted within one week after the last day of observation. This report will contain information on: names of observers and assistants, title of project,

VTT

Impossible Dates:

(In order to make most ecient use of observing time in view of personnel limitations, the number of recongurations of the telescope and its instrumentation will be limited. We therefore will group observing requests of similar technical nature into combined periods. An attempt will be made to accommodate a very limited amount of impossible time in the schedule. There is absolutely no guarantee for success of this attempt. Please keep this in mind when specifying your restrictions above these lines. Please keep also in mind the possibility of having your observations made by a colleague in cases of time conicts. Thank you for your cooperation.)
