摘要:
天体物理学的科学前沿一直驱动着观测技术和设备的不断发展,观测技术的新成就也使天文学获得新视野和新发现。上个世纪后期至今的几十年,随着光学、计算机、自动化和精密机械等技术的发展,天文望远镜研制能力有很大提高,建成了一大批新技术的望远镜。这些望远镜的问世,在测量宇宙的基本参数,星系的形成和演化,恒星和银河系的形成和演化,发现和研究太阳系外行星,揭秘暗物质、暗能量和黑洞的本质等方面都有了很大的进展。新世纪天体物理学的前沿研究,对天文观测设备也有新的要求。报告将介绍国际国内天文光学望远镜的发展现状和展望。
Abstract:
The scientific frontier of astrophysics has always driven the continuous development of observational technologies and equipment, while new achievements in observational techniques have also provided astronomy with new horizons and discoveries. Over the past few decades, from the late 20th century to the present, advancements in fields such as optics, computing, automation, and precision machinery have greatly enhanced the capability to develop astronomical telescopes, leading to the construction of a large number of telescopes incorporating new technologies. The emergence of these telescopes has led to significant progress in measuring the fundamental parameters of the universe, understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies and stars, discovering and studying exoplanets, and uncovering the nature of dark matter, dark energy, and black holes. The frontier research in astrophysics in the new century also places new demands on astronomical observation equipment. This report will introduce the current development status and prospects of international and domestic astronomical optical telescopes.

个人简介:
崔向群,天文光学望远镜专家,中国科学院院士,中科院南京天文光学技术研究所研究员。曾在英国Jodrell Bank天文台和欧洲南方天文台工作,特别是参加甚大望远镜VLT项目多年;主持研制成我国创新的、有多项国际前沿新技术的最大的大视场望远镜LAMOST(郭守敬望远镜),实现千万量级大规模天体光谱巡天的开拓,使我国掌握主动光学技术并将其发展到新的前沿,具备研制极大望远镜的能力;在我国成功发展大口径非球面天文镜面新方法;是南极冰穹A天文观测的发起人和组织者;领导开展我国30米-50米极大口径望远镜及关键技术预研究、发展天文光干涉高分辨观测技术。
Bio:
Xiangqun Cui, an expert in astronomical optical telescopes, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a researcher at the Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics & Technology. She has worked at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in the UK and the European Southern Observatory, with extensive involvement in the Very Large Telescope (VLT) project. She led the development of China’s innovative Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST, also known as the Guo Shoujing Telescope), which incorporates multiple cutting-edge international technologies as the country’s largest wide-field telescope. This achievement enabled pioneering large-scale spectroscopic surveys of tens of millions of celestial objects, mastering active optics technology and advancing it to new frontiers—thus equipping China with the capability to construct extremely large telescopes. She also developed new methods for manufacturing large-diameter aspheric astronomical mirrors in China. As an initiator and organizer of astronomical observations at Dome A in Antarctica, she has led preliminary research on key technologies for China’s 30–50 meter extremely large telescopes and pioneered high-resolution astronomical optical interferometry techniques.
