  1. Status of LAMOST ZHAO Yongheng National Astronomical Observatories of China

  2. Structure of LAMOST MA mirror Fiber Positioning Fibers MB mirror Spectrographs CCDs

  3. Ma: reflecting corrector (24 sub-mirrors) ~ 4.9m • Mb: spherical mirror (37 sub-mirrors) ~ 6.1m

  4. Basic parameters of LAMOST • 4.9m/6.1m Schmidt telescope • The declination of observable sky area ranges from -10 to +90. • 20 square degree of the FOV • 4000 fibers • Spectrum resolution: VPH (Volume Phase Holographic) Grating R=1000, 2000, 5000, 10000

  5. Schedules of LAMOST Project • ReviewedApproved • Proposal Nov. 1996 Apr. 1997 • Feasibility Study Jul. 1997 Aug. 1997 • Preliminary Design Apr.-May 1999 Jun. 1999 • Detailed Design Sep. 2001 • Construction 2001-2008 • First Light 2008
