Trackless celestial observation mirror device and operation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a heliostat in astronomical observation, in particular to a trackless heliostat device and an operation method of the trackless heliostat device.
Background
The sun, the sidereal nearest to the earth, directly affects the life of human beings, and is a very important celestial body. The sun continues to radiate light and heat, making the collection and utilization of solar energy of significant value (Application of aerobic day shading systems for energy harvesting and enhancement of indexing: A case study under clear-sky conditions. Oh SJ, Dutton S, SelkowitzS, Han HJ. energy and building.2017; 156: 173-86). The severe activities on the sun are the source of space weather disasters, so that the observation and research on the sun become an important research topic (Chinese foundation big sun telescope [ J ]. Liu Zhong, Deng Yuan Yong, Qui Hai Sheng, etc.. Chinese science: physics mechanics astronomy, 2012,42(12): 1282-1291). Due to factors such as the autorotation of the earth, the sun has visual movement of east, rise and west relative to the earth, and instruments such as a heliostat, a heliostat and an equatorial telescope are required to track the visual movement of the sun when the sun observation is carried out. Typically, the heliostat consists of two flat mirrors. The first plane mirror tracks the sun at a rotation speed of 48 h/circle (Coelostat and heliostat: alignment and user eclipse and other field purposes. Pasachoff JM, Livingston W. applied optics. 1984; 23(16):2803-8), and reflects the sunlight to a certain direction and then the second plane mirror reflects the sunlight to the sun observation equipment. The celestial telescope is different from the equatorial telescope, utilizes the celestial telescope to lead in the observation laboratory with the sunlight steadily, and sun observation equipment only need along the light path direction fix on the optical experiment platform can, to the restriction greatly reduced in aspects such as observation equipment volume, weight, also make the utilization to the sunlight more convenient. The heliostat is different from a heliostat, and a sun image obtained by the heliostat has the advantage of no rotation, so that the heliostat is particularly beneficial to developing sun imaging observation research, such as imaging observation research of sun blackbodies, active areas and the like.
Because the solar altitude can change with the season, the fixed-day mirror needs to install a set of north-south direction track to adjust the distance between two plane mirrors. Since the second mirror will block the sun's rays to a different degree during certain periods of time towards the first mirror. Therefore, the heliostat also needs to rotate a set of tracks in the east-west direction to avoid such adverse effects. Many documents are as follows: nanjing university solar tower and multiband solar spectrometer [ J ] prescription, Huang you ran, Nature newspaper, 1983(3): 3-9; coelostat and heliostat, the Theory of alignment, Demianski M, Pasachoff JM.SolarPhysics.1984; 93(1) 211-7; heliostats Silicosates and Coelostats-a Review of practical Instruments for scientific applications A. journal of the British scientific application.1985; 95:89, the structure and the working principle of the heliostat are introduced in detail.
Because the zenith mirror needs high-precision tracks in the east-west direction and the south-north direction, the size of the conventional zenith mirror is larger, and the high requirements on the precision and the installation of the tracks are provided. Therefore, the popular heliostat device is not portable, so that the application thereof is limited. For example, only astronomical events which can be observed in a limited time and space range, such as solar eclipse, lunar eclipse and the like, require the tracking device to be convenient to carry and move, and can be quickly installed and debugged, while the existing celestial observation mirror device is difficult to meet the requirement of astronomical observation of the type.
