“EAST望远镜辅助监测系统”在青海冷湖启动

Group 1 - The "EAST Auxiliary Monitoring System" was launched to establish a self-controlled, all-weather, high-altitude environmental monitoring capability for astronomical observations in China [1] - The system focuses on key site parameter monitoring necessary for the construction of large aperture optical telescopes in the Tibetan Plateau, integrating subsystems for visibility monitoring, night sky brightness measurement, and atmospheric turbulence profiling [1] - The launch of the system marks a significant step in advancing the construction of astronomical infrastructure in extreme high-altitude environments in China, providing critical technical support for site evaluation and telescope deployment [1] Group 2 - Key indicators such as median seeing, atmospheric stability, and clear sky probability in the Cold Lake area have reached international first-class levels, attracting large astronomical telescope projects from various research institutions [2]
