Título: |
A simultaneous multi-band CCD camara with polarimetric capability for LNA
|
Resumo: |
We propose to build a new instrument for the 1.6-m Perkin-Elmer and 0.60-m
Boller & Chivens telescopes of Observatório do Pico dos
Dias/Laboratório Nacional de Astrofísica (OPD/LNA). It is a
CCD camera, with an optional polarimetric mode, able to obtain simultaneous
multi-band images with time resolution of at least 1 second. The instrument
should be designed to have a minimum field of view of 5 x 5 arcmin2
in the 1.6-m telescope. This instrument can be used to collect differential
photometry, polarimetry, and astrometry data. These techniques allow an
optimized use of the OPD site given its average atmospheric conditions.
The instrument will increase the efficiency of OPD in producing high quality
science data and could be a highly demanded instrument among the present
options at the observatory.
