报告题目：JCMT: a wide new field for Chinese astronomy

    报 告 人：Dr Jessica Dempsey, JCMT Head of Operations

    摘    要：The James Clerk Maxwell telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, with its 15-m diameter mirror, is the largest single dish submillimeter telescope in the world. China, as part of the new East Asian Observatory, will have the opportunity to lead, and participate in exciting new science with the facility from the first of March 2015. The history and capabilities of the telescope will be presented, along with the science highlights from past years, to demonstrate some of the powerful impacts the telescope has made in astronomy. Its current instrument and operational design will be explained, as well as the plan for how the first observing semesters are to be offered.  Finally, the potential science and instrument opportunities that Chinese astronomers might want to pursue with the JCMT will be presented.

    备    注：JCMT 望远镜位于美国夏威夷州海拔4092米的Mauna Kea山顶，该望远镜是目前工作在亚毫米波段的最先进的望远镜之一，它可以用来研究太阳系、星际尘埃和气体以及遥远的星系等的科学问题。JCMT所装备的SCUBA 2亚毫米波成像阵列探测器是国际领先的连续谱成像设备。曾是联合天文中心管理运行的两台望远镜之一，现联合天文中心与东亚核心天文台联盟订立了关于JCMT合作协议，我国作为东亚核心天文台联盟的成员将在今后数年拥有JCMT部分观测时间。
