What is VO Virtual Sky V Community Virtual Telescope Virtual Instrument Virtual Observatory (VO) Jan 25, 2009, CCNU
My definition Virtual Observatory (VO) is a data-intensively online astronomical research and education environment, taking advantages of advanced information technologies to achieve seamless, global access to astronomical information. 虚拟天文台是通过先进的信息技术将全球范围内的研究资源无缝透明连接在一起形成的数据密集型网络化天文研究与科普教育平台。 The power of the World Wide Web is its transparency. It is as if all the documents in the world are inside your PC. The idea of the Virtual Observatory is to achieve the same transparency for astronomical data and other related information (Quinn et al. 2004). Jan 25, 2009, CCNU

First Science Paper from China-VO • Candidate Milky Way satellites in the Galactic halo(Liu et al., 2008, A&A) • SDSS DR5 photometric data were searched for new Milky Way companions or substructures in the Galactic halo. • Data analysis procedures were based on the VO-DAS. • Five candidates are identified as over-dense faint stellar sources that have color-magnitude diagrams similar to those of known globular clusters, or dwarf spherical galaxies.

国家重大科学工程 LAMOST天文望远镜
2009年--国际天文年 • 400年来,人类制造的天文望远镜口径越来越大,从地面发展到空间,从光学波段发展到全部电磁波段,促进了天文学的巨大发展 • 伽利略、开普勒:折射望远镜 • 牛顿:反射望远镜 • 8-10米光学望远镜 • 施密特:折反射望远镜(大视场) • LAMOST: 主动反射施密特系统
望远镜的特点 口径越大 探测越深 视场小 一次观测到的目标较少:个体类研究-深入细致的观测 视场大 一次观测到的目标越多:巡天类研究-宇宙天体的普查 LAMOST做到既大视场又大口径 ——中国天文学家的创新设计理念
主动反射施密特望远镜 4000光纤定位系统 MA镜: 24 4000光纤 MB镜: 37 16光谱仪 32CCD相机
大视场兼备大口径的突破 • 英国剑桥大学天文研究所Willstrop教授(1994年)
2008年12月,获得M31星系中发射线天体的光谱 仙女座大星云(M31星系) 距离约256万光年
2009年4月,单次观测获得3600余条光谱(>97%) 4号光谱仪 5号光谱仪
